How the gold price in South Korea is calculated
We take the live spot price of 4,128.00 USD per troy ounce, divide it by 31.1035 to get 132.72 USD per gram of pure gold, and multiply by today’s exchange rate of 1,340.3113 KRW per dollar. That gives 177,884 KRW per gram for 24K. Lower karats are priced by their gold content.
In South Korea, gold is traditionally sold per don (3.75 g); the Korea Exchange runs a spot gold market quoted in won per gram.
Before you sell, weigh your pieces on a jeweler’s scale, check the hallmark and compare at least two quotes. Read our guide to selling gold.
