4 (Taiwan) taels
cf. Wikipedia for details: "Taiwan
The Taiwan tael is 37.5 g and is still used in some contexts. Taiwan never adopted the Republic of China's market tael of 31.25 g; its tael is derived from the tael or ryō of the Japanese system (equal to 10 momme) which was 37.5 g. Although the catty is still frequently used in Taiwan, the tael is only used for precious metals and medicines."
