Frequently asked questions
How is the gold price in Kenya worked out?
Gold is priced globally in US dollars per troy ounce. The Kenya price per gram is that spot price divided by 31.1035 grams, converted to Kenya shillings at the current exchange rate, then scaled by purity for lower karats.
Why do gold buyers in Kenya pay less than this price?
Spot is the price for refined, good-delivery gold. Raw gold, doré and nuggets must be assayed, refined, transported and exported, and the seller pays royalty, so local buying prices sit below spot. How far below depends on purity, volume and paperwork.
What is a tola of gold?
A tola is a traditional unit of about 11.66 grams, still used in parts of the regional gold trade. The table shows the tola price for each purity.
How often does this page update?
