Emami Coin Rises in Tehran Today Even as Global Gold Ounce Slips

Tehran's gold and coin market extended its gains on Monday, 9 Shahrivar 1405 (August 31, 2026), even as the global gold ounce slipped. According to Donya e Eqtesad at 11:06am Tehran time, the Emami coin's price rose to 217,500,000 tomans today. Live data from tgju.org put the Emami coin at 218,010,000 tomans over the same hours, up 1.39 percent from the same day last week (Tuesday, 3 Shahrivar, at 215,000,000 tomans). Per Sahmino's own data at 11:29am, the Emami coin was up 0.67 percent at 219,480,000 tomans, with its premium over intrinsic gold value jumping to about 3,240,000 tomans.

The rise came as global spot gold, per Sahmino's data at the same hour, was down 0.27 percent at 4,442.2 dollars an ounce, suggesting the rise in Iran's domestic dollar rate, rather than the global gold price, was the main driver behind Tehran's gold and coin market today. The Emami coin had also touched an all time high of 223,500,000 tomans last week, on Friday, 6 Shahrivar (August 28).
