How to read this historical table
Every price above is derived directly from the international XAU/USD spot rate on this date ($2,398/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 16, 2024 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.
