About 1 chỉ
In Vietnam gold is weighed in chỉ of 3.75 g; ten chỉ make a lượng (or cây) of 37.5 g. SJC gold bars (vàng miếng) and plain 9999 gold rings (vàng nhẫn) are quoted per lượng and per chỉ, with a buying and a selling price. Imports of gold bars have long been controlled by the State Bank of Vietnam, so domestic prices — especially for SJC bars — are often well above the world-price value shown here.
