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).
