* A positive bubble means the market price exceeds the intrinsic value.
Formula
A coin bubble is the gap between a coin's market price and the real value of the gold inside it. When a coin trades above its gold content, that difference is the bubble. This tool calculates it for every common Iranian coin using today's 18-karat gold rate.
How it is calculated
First the intrinsic value: the coin's pure gold weight multiplied by the current price per gram, plus a minting percentage. That figure is then subtracted from the market price. A positive result means the coin trades above its gold value.
Why smaller coins carry a bigger bubble
Quarter and half coins are widely used as gifts and small savings, so demand outruns supply, and minting costs are proportionally higher relative to their weight.
Frequently asked questions
Can the bubble be negative?
Yes, though rarely — it means the coin is trading below its gold value, usually during a sharp drop in demand.
