Central Bank to Issue First Ever Standard Parallel Forward Coin Notes With a Guaranteed 7 Percent Return
According to ISNA, carried by Donya-e-Eqtesad on Saturday, September 5, 2026 (14 Shahrivar 1405), the Central Bank of Iran said it will issue the country's first ever Standard Parallel Forward Coin Notes on 18 Shahrivar 1405 (September 9, 2026). The new financial instrument is intended to widen investment access to the gold coin market and help contain the inflationary effects of liquidity growth. Per the report, the notes carry a three month maturity: buyers purchase a coin at its market discovered price at issuance and can claim the coin's value three months later under the announced terms. The notes also carry a guaranteed minimum return, letting holders exercise a put option to sell at maturity for a price equal to 7 percent above the price discovered on the issuance day. Details on the offering method, pricing and trading terms are to be announced through the Central Bank's own information portal and the Iran Mercantile Exchange.

Ecoiran noted that the domestic rise in gold and coin prices, despite the dip in the global ounce price, was driven mainly by the exchange rate and trader expectations.

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).

According to Donya-e-Eqtesad and data from the Tehran Gold and Jewelry Union, published Sunday, Shahrivar 1, 1405 (August 23, 2026), the price of the Emami gold coin accelerated further today, reaching 215,500,000 tomans by 11:12am.

Per TGJU data, global spot gold traded in a narrow 4,603 to 4,611 dollar range over the same window, indicating today's coin price acceleration was driven mainly by the domestic exchange rate and local hedging demand rather than a move in the global ounce price.

Gold and Coin Prices in Tehran Rise for a Second Straight Day
According to Donya-e-Eqtesad and Ecoiran (Saturday, August 22, 2026), gold and coin prices in the Tehran market rose for a second consecutive day. Per Sahmino's own price data, the Emami gold coin reached 204,510,000 tomans at 11:29 a.m. Tehran time, up 2.49 percent from Friday's (30 Mordad) price of 198,700,000 tomans; Donya-e-Eqtesad separately quoted today's Emami coin price at 204,500,000 tomans, consistent with Sahmino's figure. Eighteen-karat gold rose 3.32 percent over the same period to 20,512,000 tomans per gram. Ecoiran described the increase as "sharp." The back-to-back gains in Tehran extend a rally in global spot gold, which traded above $4,500 an ounce on Friday and was on track for a third consecutive weekly gain, a move Ecoiran linked to the US Treasury's expanded debt buyback program and a weaker dollar.

Tehran's exchange-traded gold funds draw 23 trillion tomans in retail money as the Emami coin enters the 195-million-toman range
The price of Iran's new-design Emami gold coin reached 195,500,000 tomans in Tehran's free market on Wednesday, August 19, 2026 (28 Mordad 1405). According to price tracker AlanChand, that is up 3,500,000 tomans, or 1.82 percent, from yesterday's 192,000,000 tomans. Based on the coin's intrinsic gold value (calculated from a $4,363 global ounce and a 189,900-toman free-market dollar), its premium stood at only about 0.46 percent at that hour. Separately, Donya-e-Eqtesad reported that Tehran Stock Exchange gold funds drew roughly 23,200 billion tomans in net retail inflows by 14:30 Wednesday, a sign of growing small-investor appetite for gold-linked assets as the benchmark index approaches the 6-million-point mark.

The coin's premium closed Tuesday's session near zero, around 185,000 tomans, indicating the recent price gains have not yet drawn a speculative wave of buying.

Emami Gold Coin's Price Premium Jumps More Than 50 Percent in a Single Day
According to tgju.org, the premium on Iran's Emami gold coin, the gap between its market price and intrinsic value based on gold content and the dollar rate, jumped 14.4 million rials, or 51.67 percent, from the previous day to reach 42,270,000 rials (about 4,227,000 tomans) in Tuesday's trading, August 11, 2026 (20 Mordad 1405). At the same time, the Emami coin's own price rose 1.6 percent (2,980,000 tomans) to 189,485,000 tomans, while the single unit retail price reached 190,490,000 tomans. By Wednesday morning, August 12 (21 Mordad), tgju.org's live feed confirmed the premium holding at roughly the same level. The jump coincided with a rebound in the free market dollar rate and a rise in the global gold price over the same window. Tgju's own market commentary noted that part of the coin and currency market remains uncertain the political calm will hold, keeping many traders cautious.

Emami Gold Coin Premium Plunges to About 30 Million Tomans as Market Returns to Mid-Channel
According to an analysis published by TGJU on Monday, 19 Mordad 1405 (August 10, 2026), the Emami gold coin jumped sharply to about 189 million tomans in the prior session, but the gain proved short lived: increased supply and selling pressure pushed the price back to around 185 million tomans, returning the market, per the report, to the middle of its recent multi-week trading channel of 180 to 190 million tomans. Separately, according to data recorded on Sahmino as of 17:49 today, the Emami coin's bubble (the gap between its market price and intrinsic gold value) fell 17.92 percent (5.4 million tomans) from the prior reading to about 30.13 million tomans. TGJU attributed the shrinking premium and the market's cooling momentum to rising political optimism around news of talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has eased safe-haven demand for gold and coins.

Rare Event in Iran's Coin Market: Half-Coin and Gold Mesghal Premiums Briefly Turn Negative as Travel-Dollar Trades Reach the Gold Market
According to Ecoiran, published Sunday, 18 Mordad 1405 (August 9, 2026), Tehran's gold and currency market stayed range-bound the same day that news on Strait of Hormuz reopening talks turned contradictory: the dollar edged down toward the 185,000 toman channel, the Emami coin hovered near 186 million tomans, and a mesghal of melted gold traded around 81.1 million tomans. Sahmino's own live price data at 19:59 the same day put the dollar at 1,856,000 rials (185,600 tomans) and the Emami coin near 187 million tomans. The rare development on Sunday, per Ecoiran, was that during trading the half-coin's premium over intrinsic value was estimated as negative for a time, an uncommon occurrence; the Emami coin's premium fell to around negative 2 percent and the melted gold mesghal's premium to around negative 3.7 percent, meaning some grades traded below their intrinsic value. Sahmino's own live data confirms a sharp intraday drop in the Emami coin's premium: after standing above 38 million rials in recent days, it fell 27.5 percent to 27,870,000 rials by 19:59 Sunday. Separately, so called "travel-note" trades, which had gained traction in free-market dollar-note trading since the first week of Ordibehesht, reached the gold market too on Sunday, according to Ecoiran, with some traders swapping gold for US dollar travel banknotes.

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.

The price gap between old and new design Bahar Azadi coins narrows to 3 to 4 million tomans, which the gold union head attributes to a shift in court practice
The price gap between the old design and new design full Bahar Azadi gold coins, which at times exceeded 10 million tomans, had narrowed to a range of 3 to 4 million tomans in the days up to Tuesday, 13 Mordad 1405 (August 4, 2026), according to a market survey. Nader Bazrafshan, head of the Tehran Gold and Jewellery Union, said the gap between the two coin types was wider in the closing months of last year but has come down to a few million tomans in recent months. He said much of the difference stemmed from the mehrieh (marriage settlement): many older marriage contracts recorded only the phrase "Bahar Azadi coin" without specifying the design, so some courts treated the Emami coin (the new design) as the benchmark while others accepted the old design coin. Bazrafshan added that judicial practice has shifted considerably in recent months and that in most cases the old design Bahar Azadi coin is now also accepted in settling a mehrieh, which has raised demand for the old design coin and narrowed the price differential between the two. Gold market participants say the change reflects more than supply and demand or market volatility, with reduced legal ambiguity in enforcing the mehrieh also playing a part.

The main driver cited for the fall in coins was the decline in the free market exchange rate, which followed a reduced perceived risk of escalating geopolitical tension in West Asia.

The quarter coin premium reaches 7,391,000 toman, more than double the premium on the Emami coin
According to the Eghtesad Online price table for Sunday 2 August 2026 (11 Mordad 1405), the premium, or bubble, on the quarter coin reached 7,391,000 toman, against 3,522,000 toman on the Emami coin and just 888,000 toman on the Bahar Azadi coin. The half coin premium was put at 3,288,000 toman. The same figures are confirmed by the latest rates recorded in Sahmino's own price feed. On prices, Eghtesad Online quoted the Emami coin at 187,000,000 toman, while live market data at 09:50 Tehran time the same day showed 188,000,000 toman, so the Emami coin traded in a 187 to 188 million toman range on Sunday 11 Mordad. The quarter coin changed hands between 52,600,000 and 53,500,000 toman. The same report put a gram of 18 carat gold at 18,666,700 toman, a mesghal of gold at 80,860,000 toman and spot gold at 4,043 dollars an ounce. A higher premium on the smaller pieces than on the full coin typically reflects demand from small investors meeting limited supply in those denominations.

Tehran gold union: the Emami coin rose 4.8 million toman over the week to 187.8 million toman
The head of the Tehran Gold and Jewellery Union said on Saturday 1 August 2026 (10 Mordad 1405), in remarks to ISNA, that Iran's domestic gold and coin market rose over the past week even as the global price fell. Nader Bazrafshan said the gold ounce dropped 19 dollars from the start of the week to Saturday, reaching 4,043 dollars, but a rising exchange rate pushed the domestic market up. According to the figures given, a mesghal of 17 carat gold gained 2,220,000 toman to 81,300,000 toman, and a gram of 18 carat gold rose 514,000 toman to 18,770,000 toman. The new design Bahar Azadi (Emami) full coin gained 4,800,000 toman to 187,800,000 toman, while the old design coin rose 4,500,000 toman to 184,500,000 toman.

Emami coin retreats to 184 million tomans on Tuesday 6 Mordad as its premium compresses to about 1.7 percent
Tehran's coin market gave back the previous day's gain on Tuesday, 28 July 2026 (6 Mordad 1405). In the 17:40 Tehran time update, the full Emami coin stood at 184,000,000 tomans, down 1,500,000 tomans or 0.81 percent from Monday 5 Mordad's 185,500,000 tomans. Sahmino's own price board recorded the Emami coin at 183,990,000 tomans, down 0.82 percent, at 17:39 the same day. According to the daily archive of the Gold and Currency Information Network, the Emami coin had closed Monday, 5 Mordad, at 185,495,000 tomans, up 2.21 percent. Its 24 hour range was 181,500,000 to 185,500,000 tomans. The decline reached the whole coin family: the Bahar Azadi at 180,000,000 tomans, down 0.55 percent, the half coin at 94,500,000 tomans, down 1.05 percent, and the quarter coin at 53,000,000 tomans, down 1.85 percent. At the same hour, however, a gram of 18 carat gold was 0.74 percent higher at 18,348,000 tomans. What distinguishes this session is the divergence between coins and bullion. The Emami coin's premium (the gap between its market price and the intrinsic value of its gold content) narrowed to 3,020,000 tomans, or 1.67 percent, while the quarter coin's premium remained at 16.63 percent. The two external drivers pulled in opposite directions: at 17:40 spot gold stood at $4,022.34 an ounce, down 1.46 percent, and silver at $56.84, down 2.90 percent, while the free market dollar on Sahmino's board at 17:39 rose 1.55 percent to 190,915 tomans. Gold's price in Iran is the product of the global ounce and the free market dollar rate; the falling ounce and the rising dollar largely cancelled each other out, and what pushed coins lower was the compression of the premium after Monday's jump.

The Emami coin sheds about 3 million tomans on Sunday as its bubble collapses to 2.1 million
Iran's coin and gold market fell on Sunday, 26 July 2026 (4 Mordad 1405). According to Tejarat News, the market lost support levels at the open and turned lower, with the coin shedding about 3,300,000 tomans during the day, though part of the decline was pared back later in the session. On Sahmino's price board as of 13:39 on Sunday, 4 Mordad, the Emami coin was down 2,975,000 tomans, or 1.64 percent, at 181,505,000 tomans, while the Bahar Azadi coin was 1.83 percent lower at 176,665,000 tomans. The standout of the day was the collapse in the Emami coin's bubble: the gap between its market price and its intrinsic value, based on the weight of gold it contains, fell nearly 64 percent to about 2,120,000 tomans. A shrinking bubble usually signals that speculative demand is cooling, and it came alongside the drop in the open-market dollar rate.

Emami coin falls to 180 million tomans on Sunday while the global ounce holds flat
Iran's domestic gold and coin market went through a second consecutive declining session on Sunday, 26 July 2026. In the 11:35 Tehran time update, the full Emami coin was down 2.44 percent at 180 million tomans and the Bahar Azadi coin down 2.22 percent at 176 million tomans. Sahmino's own price board recorded the Emami coin at 180.005 million tomans, down 2.49 percent, as of 11:29. At the same hour, a gram of 18-carat gold traded down 1.74 percent at 17.822 million tomans and a mesghal of melted gold at 77.2 million tomans. The half-coin was recorded at 93 million tomans, down 1.06 percent, and the quarter-coin at 52 million tomans, down 1.89 percent. The decisive feature of this session is that the declines had nothing to do with the world market: at the same hour spot gold stood at $4,052.91 an ounce, effectively unchanged with a 0.01 percent gain, and silver at $58.17, unchanged. The entire domestic move therefore came from the currency side, with the free-market dollar retreating to 187,000 tomans the same day. Gold's price in Iran is the product of the global ounce and the free-market dollar rate, so when the ounce holds still, the change in domestic prices is purely a reflection of the currency market.

Emami gold coin sheds about 2.5% on Saturday
The full Emami gold coin fell on Saturday, 25 July 2026 (3 Mordad 1405), in step with bullion. In midday trading (around 11:30 Tehran time) the Emami coin traded near 184 million tomans, about 2.5% (roughly 4.5 million tomans) below last week's close. The coin fell more than the metal itself: beyond the retreat in the global ounce and the cheaper free-market dollar, the coin's premium (the gap between its market price and the intrinsic value of its gold content) also compressed. Such premium adjustments typically occur on days when speculative demand for coins eases.

The gold and coin market eased slightly in Wednesday's session (22 July 2026) compared with the previous day. According to market reports, the Emami coin (new design) traded around 184 million toman, the old-design (Bahar Azadi) coin near 180.5 million toman, the half-coin about 94 million toman, the quarter-coin around 52.5 million toman, and the gram coin about 27 million toman. These levels were a touch below Tuesday's (21 July) close, when the Emami coin had traded near 186 million toman. In Wednesday's late-day trading most coin pieces pulled off the day's lows and changed hands above their opening rates. Domestic gold and coin prices continue to track two variables: the global gold ounce and the exchange rate.

Gold and coin rebound in Tuesday evening trade; Emami coin nears 185 million tomans as premium shrinks
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.
