Tael (simplified Chinese: 两; traditional Chinese: 兩; pinyin: liǎng) or tahil can refer to any one of several weight measures of the Far East. Most commonly, it refers to the Chinese tael, a part of the Chinese system of weights and currency.
In Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia it is equivalent to 10 mace (Chinese: 錢; pinyin: qián) or ​1⁄16 catty, albeit with slightly different metric equivalents in these two places. These Chinese units of measurement are usually used in Chinese herbal medicine stores as well as gold and silver exchange.
In China, there were many different weighting standards of tael depending on the region or type of trade. In general the silver tael weighed around 40 grams (1.3 ozt). The most common government measure was the Kuping (庫平; kùpíng; "treasury standard") tael, weighing 37.5 grams (1.21 ozt). A common commercial weight, the Caoping (漕平; cáopíng; "canal shipping standard") tael weighed 36.7 grams (1.18 ozt) of marginally less pure silver.

Before the standardisation of the tael to 50 g by the People’s Republic of China in 1959 in order to better coordinate with the metric system, a tael, or liang 两, could traditionally refer to a variety of weights, depending on the region and context. Taels were used widely as a unit of measurement until the 20th Century, but are now seen in only very limited circumstances. Most commonly a silver tael, when used as a unit of weight for commodities, was approximately 1 1/3 of a troy ounce, or a little over 40 g. However, as far as Chinese currency is concerned, the most common tael measure in use by the government was the kupingliang 庫平两, or treasury grade tael, which was standardised to 1.21 troy ounces, or 37.5 g. The tael still served as the foundation for the Chinese silver currency system until the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911. 1 tael equaled 10 mace, or 100 candareens. Inscriptions on Chinese taels often feature the characters 庫平两, or just 两. Guangxu taels were an emanation of Imperial China, although provincial usage of the tael continued in China, most notably in French Indo-China in Yunnan Province, right up until the end of World War II (although not an imperial dragon tael; the design is really quite different).

In China, the dollar (yuan) system prevailed side by side with the Tael (liang) system until the Tael system was abolished. In addition to the silver dollar, a number of large silver coins were minted on a trial basis at a weight of one tael at Tianjin (Tientsin) during 1903. The Taels measure at around 44-45 mm. Some Taels are at 40-41 mm but come on a slightly thicker planchet. Many other Taels weigh at around 37.5 grams (Shanghai Tael) and others weigh at around 37.67 grams. Some earlier Taels weight 40-41 grams. There is great variation in the weight of the coins of the Tael System. The crown size taels weighed at around 26.67 – 27 grams. The large Taels show the weight in Chinese characters, the name of the Minstry of Finance, HU POO and bear the date 29th YEAR OF KUANG HSÜ. More one tael coins were minted in 1904 (30th year of Guang Xu) with HU PEH PROVINCE and the weight stated in English ONE TAEL. Patterns from the Heaton mint exists with the words One Tael. Even the Hu Peh Taels comes in two sizes. Others were minted in 1906 (32nd year of Guang Xu) with the intention that they would become the standard coin and compete with the Reales and Mexican silver Dollar. Accordingly, a complete set of coins based on the one tael standard were produced with values of one tael, 5 mace, 2 mace and the legend TAI-CHING-TI-KUO (Great Ching Empire) SILVER COIN. Even this coin has large variations in size from 38.5 mm produced at the Central Mint, including large Taels of 44-46 mm in diameter. One pattern, probably struck at the Heaton Mint has an interesting design at the edge on the obverse that serves as a security edge. The Kouping Tael also comes in two sizes, one of which is the crown size and probably exists only as a pattern with the mint mark in the center on the obverse, And with the branch mint mark is even more rare.
