Gold and Coins Retreat on Tuesday, July 21; Emami Coin Near 182 Million Tomans, 18-Karat Gram Around 18.1 Million
Iran's gold and coin market edged lower on Tuesday, July 21, 2026 (30 Tir 1405). According to the daily Donya-e-Eqtesad, the full Bahar Azadi (Emami) gold coin traded at around 182 million tomans and the half coin at about 92.5 million tomans during the session, both slightly below Monday, July 20, when the Emami coin had ranged between 183 and 185 million tomans. A gram of 18-karat gold was priced at roughly 18.1 million tomans on Tuesday. The domestic pullback tracked a swing in the global gold ounce around the 4,000 dollar area (near its lowest level in several months) and a relatively calmer currency market, with the free-market dollar hovering around 189,000 tomans the same day. Domestic gold prices are a product of the global ounce and the exchange rate, and those two variables set the daily direction of the coin market.

Gold and coin retreat Monday; 18-carat gram slips below 18.3 million toman, Emami coin near 185 million
Iran's gold and coin market pulled back from near its record highs on Monday, 20 July 2026 (29 Tir 1405). The 18-carat gram opened the day around 18,765,000 toman and by midday (about 11:30 local time) traded near 18,282,000 toman, a drop of roughly 2.6% from the previous day. The Emami coin, which had changed hands near 188,500,000 toman on Sunday (28 Tir), eased to about 184,990,000 toman on Monday, down around 2.2%. The retreat came while the global gold ounce held little changed near $4,018, close to its nine-month low. Today's domestic decline was therefore tied mainly to a cooling of buying demand and swings in the free-market dollar, which traded in a range of about 190,000 to 193,000 toman, rather than to the world price.

Domestic gold and coin prices remain a product of two factors, the exchange rate and the global gold price, at a time when the ongoing military tensions are feeding safe-haven demand.

18-karat gold near 18.4 million tomans Thursday, Emami coin at 185 million
On Thursday, 16 July 2026 (25 Tir 1405), a gram of 18-karat gold was priced at about 18,433,000 tomans based on rates published by Tehran's gold and jewellery union.

Iran's Currency and Gold Exchange Center (Markaz Mobadeleh) held its 116th gold bar auction on Tuesday, 14 July 2026 (23 Tir 1405).

According to the report, 19 gold bar auctions have been held at the Exchange Center since the start of the Iranian year 1405, selling a combined 1,506 kilograms for 13,253 billion tomans. The auctions are a government tool to meet market gold demand and calm prices, and they come on days when the free market dollar has climbed above 180,000 tomans. About 51 kilograms of the bars offered went unsold, pointing to less than full buyer appetite at these price levels.

18-carat gold and the Emami coin rise in Tuesday trading as a weaker rial outweighs a steady global ounce
Domestic gold and coin prices rose on Tuesday, 14 July 2026. Jamejam reported that each gram of 18-carat gold entered the 17.6 million toman range, while Sahmino's price service showed it near 17.8 million toman (up about 0.7 percent) by around 11:35.

The gains came while the global gold ounce hovered near 4,000 dollars, so the main driver of the domestic rise was the weaker rial and the climbing free-market dollar rather than the world price.

Gold and coin prices fall in Iran's domestic market Saturday; 18 karat gold down 2.33 percent, Emami coin down 2.82 percent
Gold and coin prices turned lower in Iran's domestic market on Saturday, July 11, 2026 (20 Tir 1405). One gram of 18 karat gold fell 4,082,000 tomans, or 2.33 percent, to 17,528,700 tomans as of 2:34 pm Tehran time.

Global spot gold traded around 4,121 dollars an ounce in the same window. According to Ecoiran, easing regional tensions and continued diplomatic consultations between Iran, the United States and Oman over the Strait of Hormuz have reduced safe haven demand for gold and coins, contributing to today's domestic price declines.
