Gold and coin rebound in Tuesday evening trade; Emami coin nears 185 million tomans as premium shrinks
Jul 21, 2026
Tehran's gold and coin market reversed its morning slide on the evening of Tuesday, 21 July 2026. The Emami coin climbed about 1.6 percent back toward 185 million tomans, after retreating to around 182 million tomans earlier in the day. A gram of 18-karat gold rose about 1.5 percent to nearly 18.45 million tomans. The quarter coin edged up to around 52.8 million tomans, while the half coin traded near 94 million tomans.
As gold and the dollar rose, the Emami coin's premium (the so-called bubble) narrowed markedly, easing to around 5 million tomans. The evening rebound in the domestic market was driven mainly by the higher free-market dollar rate and the swing in the global gold ounce near the 4,000 dollar area. Sahmino's live figures on its prices pages confirm the same rebound.

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).
