The Turkey gold market
Turkey is one of the world's largest retail gold markets relative to GDP, driven by historical use of gold as an inflation hedge against persistent lira depreciation. Prices are quoted per gram in 22K (Cumhuriyet and Reşat coin standards) and 24K (gram bars). The Borsa İstanbul Gold Exchange runs the official daily fix.

How this January 16, 2019 Turkey price is calculated
International benchmark. The XAU/USD spot price for January 16, 2019 comes from gold-api.com's historical archive — the London PM-fix benchmark, which is the reference used by central banks and bullion dealers globally. On this date, that price was $1,292.30/oz.
Currency conversion. The TRY/USD exchange rate for the same date comes from exchangerate-api.com. We apply that day's exact rate (—) to the USD price — not a year-average or month-end approximation. This makes the ₺ figure on this page accurate to the trading session.
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). We never compound rounding errors by going through intermediate units.
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 “Turkey gold market” section above. The retail rate at a jeweller in Turkey on January 16, 2019 would have been a few percent above this number once those costs are included.
