A mithqal is a historical weight standard for gold, not a count of modern coins. The form of the gold may change, but the weight and gold content remain central to nisab.
This edition gives approximately 7.5 tolas, or about 88 grams, for twenty mithqals. It is an approximate conversion; an actual assessment should use a defined weight standard and the quantity of pure gold.
