How we compare gold coin prices

Every 4 hours we check gold coin listings on Amazon, Flipkart, Tata Cliq, Myntra and Shopsy, match the same coin across stores (by brand, purity, weight and design), and compare each price to the value of the gold inside it.

Gold value

Gold value = weight × purity × today's 24K rate per gram, plus 3% GST. Today we use the IBJA rate of ₹13,581/g. We check every rate against the India Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) benchmark and drop any jeweller rate more than 4% above or 1% below it, so one bad feed can't distort every comparison.

Over gold value

This is how much more than the gold value you pay, as a percentage. It lets you compare a 1g coin with a 10g coin, or 24K with 22K, on equal terms. Under 2.5% is a great price; 2.5–7% is fair; above 7% is a high premium.

Freshness and accuracy

Each price shows when it was last checked. If a store couldn't be reached, we keep its last prices for up to 3 days and label them as older; after that we drop them. Listings priced far below gold value are almost always the wrong weight or a mismatched product, so we hide them.

How we make money

Some store links are affiliate links: if you buy, the store may pay us a small commission. You pay the same price. It never affects the ranking — coins are always sorted by price and premium.
