The Iran gold market
Iran's traditional gold unit is the mesghal (1 mesghal = 4.6083 g), with bahar-e-azadi gold coins issued by the Central Bank of Iran being a popular savings instrument. Prices are heavily influenced by USD/IRR parallel-market exchange rates rather than the official rate.

How Iran 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 IRR/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2020 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every IRR figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × IRR/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all June 2020 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 Iran, add the country-specific levies described in the “Irangold market” section above.
FAQ — Iran gold price in June 2020
What was the gold price in Iran in June 2020?
Historical IRR gold price archive for Iran in June 2020.
What was the 24K gold rate per tola in Iran in June 2020?
Tola-based gold rate for Iran in June 2020 requires both XAU/USD and IRR/USD data which is unavailable for this period.
What was the 18K gold rate per mesghal in Iran in June 2020?
Retail rate calculation requires international XAU/USD spot and IRR/USD FX, both of which are missing for this period.
How was the local currency price calculated?
IRR prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for June 2020 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2020-end IRR/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 IRR at the 2020-end exchange rate. Iran'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.
