Definición

• is a recognized unit of value in some parts of Burma and Tibet ; the different qualities each bear a distinctive mark and pass at different prices.

  Clement Williams, in Through Burma to Western China , 1864 (p. 34), has a note which seems to refer to a currency consist- ing of cakes of tea. He says: " The only kinds apparently known in the market at Bamo are the flat discs of China tea and the balls of Shan tea. The discs weigh twenty Tickals each; seven piled together make a packet which used to sell at one and one-half Tickals and two Ticks " [sic].
