How to read this historical table
Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($1,683/oz) using fixed weight constants — 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 g, 1 tola = 11.664 g, 1 baht = 15.244 g, 1 lượng = 37.5 g, 1 mesghal = 4.6083 g, and so on. These multipliers are mathematical, not market estimates, so the conversions are exact.
Prices are shown in US dollars only. Historical local-currency gold rates depended on the exchange rate at the time (April 1, 2020 rates for PKR, INR, AED and others were materially different from today). For an accurate same-date local-currency value, see the country-specific archive link below this section when available.
The figures are pure metal value at international parity — they do not include the import duty, VAT/GST, jeweller making charges, or dealer margin that would have applied at retail counters on this date. For wedding-jewellery or coin pricing context, retail in 22K commonly added 5–15% on top of the spot value shown here.

April 2020 gold market: Stimulus ignites a powerful gold rally
BullishA clean breakout to eight-year highs on stimulus.
With central banks and governments deploying trillions in stimulus, gold surged through April to about $1,700 — its highest level since 2012. Collapsing real interest rates and fears of currency debasement made non-yielding gold newly attractive, and physical demand for bars and coins overwhelmed many retail dealers.
What drove gold in April 2020
- trillions in fiscal & monetary stimulus
- real yields turning deeply negative
- currency-debasement fears
- retail bullion shortages
Key events in April 2020
- Apr 14Gold clears $1,700 for the first time since 2012
What happened next
The breakout above $1,700 opened a clear path toward the 2011 record that gold would challenge by July.
For gold buyers
April confirmed the new regime: with real yields negative, gold's lack of a coupon stopped being a disadvantage.
