December 2021 gold market: Range-bound into a hawkish year-end

Era context — The modern bull market (2019 to today)
Gold's second major bull market of the 21st century. Driven by COVID stimulus, Russia sanctions, central-bank accumulation at record levels, and the structural shift toward a multi-polar reserve system. New all-time highs reached repeatedly since 2020.
The Azerbaijan gold market
Azerbaijan retail gold prices are quoted in the local currency per gram for 24K and 22K purities, and per troy ounce for investment-grade bullion. Local rates usually sit above the international XAU/USD spot price after import duties, sales taxes, and jewellery making charges are applied. Use this archive as the international reference price; final retail rates depend on your dealer and the date's exchange rate.

How Azerbaijan 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 AZN/USD exchange rate comes from exchangerate-api.com's 2021 year-end snapshot.
Conversion. Every AZN figure on this page is computed as XAU/USD price × AZN/USD rate. We use the year-end exchange rate consistently across all December 2021 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 Azerbaijan, add the country-specific levies described in the “Azerbaijangold market” section above.

What was the 24K gold rate per tola in Azerbaijan in December 2021?
The 24K gold rate per tola in Azerbaijan at the December 2021 close was approximately ₼1,148, derived from international XAU/USD spot of $1,805.90/oz times the 2021-end AZN/USD exchange rate of 1.6956. This is pure metal value; final retail rates include local taxes and dealer making charges.

How was the local currency price calculated?
AZN prices on this page are computed from the verified international XAU/USD spot price for December 2021 (sourced from gold-api.com), multiplied by the 2021-end AZN/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 AZN at the 2021-end exchange rate. Azerbaijan'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.
