Why is gold so expensive in Iran?
Iranian gold prices have two parts: the world price of an ounce (in dollars) and the open-market dollar rate. When the rial weakens, gold in toman rises even if the world price is flat, which is why Iranians treat gold and coins as a hedge against the currency. See the dollar to rial rate alongside gold.
What is a mesghal?
A traditional Iranian weight used in the gold market: one mesghal is 4.608 grams of 17-karat (705) gold. Per-gram prices for 18-karat gold are derived from the mesghal price.
