Tehran gold and coin market opens Tuesday little changed; Emami coin at 185.5 million tomans

Iran's domestic gold and coin market opened Tuesday morning, 28 July 2026 (6 Mordad 1405), effectively level with Monday's closing rates. On the AlanChand price board at 07:30 that day, a gram of 18 carat gold was quoted at 18,214,140 tomans, the new design Emami coin at 185,500,000 tomans and a mithqal of melted gold at 78,900,000 tomans.

Those levels sit close to Monday's final rates in the daily archive of the Gold and Currency Information Network: there, 18 carat gold closed Monday, 5 Mordad, at 18,209,300 tomans, up 1.85 percent, and the Emami coin at 185,495,000 tomans, up 2.21 percent. Monday's advance followed two consecutive declining sessions on Saturday, 3 Mordad, and Sunday, 4 Mordad.

Both external drivers were slightly lower on Tuesday morning: spot gold stood at $4,049.67 an ounce and was quoted lower at the same hour, and the free market dollar selling rate was 187,550 tomans, against the 187,985 tomans shown on Sahmino's price board at 19:59 on Monday. Gold's price in Iran is the product of the global ounce and the free market dollar rate, and the relative steadiness of both in the early hours of Tuesday explains the calm in the domestic market.
