Emami Gold Coin Price Rises Nearly 2.4 Percent as Its Premium Shrinks by About a Quarter

The price of Iran's Emami gold coin rose in the Tehran market on Saturday, August 8, 2026 (17 Mordad 1405). According to a Donya-e-Eqtesad report published at 07:47 that morning, the Emami coin was trading higher at around 190 million tomans. Sahmino's own live price data at 11:28 the same day put the Emami coin at 189,515,000 tomans, up 2.43 percent (4,495,000 tomans) on the day, with the single unit retail Emami coin at 190,520,000 tomans, up 2.41 percent.

Notably, the coin's speculative premium, locally called the "hobab" or bubble, fell sharply: it stood at 2,118,000 tomans, down 568,000 tomans, or 26.82 percent, from the previous reading. At the same time, domestic 18 karat gold rose 2.26 percent to 189,981 tomans a gram, while global gold ticked up only 0.14 percent to $4,343.43 an ounce, a gap suggesting today's rise in Iran's coin and gold prices is driven mainly by domestic factors rather than the global gold market.
