How Turkey gold prices are calculated on this page
Source. The international XAU/USD spot price comes from gold-api.com's historical archive (London PM-fix benchmark). The TRY/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2009 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every TRY figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × TRY/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all February 2009 prices on this page.
Per-unit math. Per-gram = per-ounce ÷ 31.1035. Per-tola = per-gram × 11.664. Per-10g = per-gram × 10. Per-kilo = per-gram × 1000. Karat values multiply per-gram by the purity ratio (24K = 0.999, 22K = 0.916, 21K = 0.875, 18K = 0.750, 14K = 0.585, 10K = 0.417).
What this page does NOT include. Local sales tax / VAT, customs duty on imports, dealer making charges, jewellery design premiums, or coin numismatic premiums. To go from this pure-metal value to a final retail rate in Turkey, add the country-specific levies described in the “Turkeygold market” section above.
FAQ — Turkey gold price in February 2009
What was the gold price in Turkey in February 2009?
Historical TRY gold price archive for Turkey in February 2009.
What was the 24K gold rate per tola in Turkey in February 2009?
Tola-based gold rate for Turkey in February 2009 requires both XAU/USD and TRY/USD data which is unavailable for this period.
What was the 22K gold rate per gram in Turkey in February 2009?
Retail rate calculation requires international XAU/USD spot and TRY/USD FX, both of which are missing for this period.
How was the local currency price calculated?
TRY prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for February 2009 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2009-end TRY/USD exchange rate from exchangerate-api.com. We use year-end rates as a single reference point for the entire month — for most stable currencies the within-year FX drift is small, but during currency crises (PKR 2022–23, TRY 2022, ARS 2024 etc.) the actual mid-month rate may differ.
Why does the retail price in shops differ from this number?
The ₺ figures here represent the international gold spot price converted to TRY at the 2009-end exchange rate. Turkey's retail jewellers add (1) import duties and sales tax (varies by SKU and karat), (2) dealer making charges (typically 3–12% of metal value), and (3) a small premium for purity certification on bars. Always verify the exact day's retail rate with a reputable local dealer before transacting.
