Terms Worth Knowing Before You Buy Gold
- What is a troy ounce?
- The troy ounce is the standard global unit used in gold trading on every exchange worldwide, and it equals exactly 31.1035 grams.
- What is the difference between buy and sell price?
- The sell price is what you pay when acquiring gold from a shop, while the buy price is what you receive when selling your jewelry back to the same shop, with the gap representing the dealer's margin.
- What does the karat number mean?
- The karat number indicates the proportion of pure gold in a piece out of 24 parts, so 21k means 21 parts pure gold out of 24, or 87.5% purity.
Market Analysis
Like Russia, Poland uses a per-mille fineness system, with 585 (roughly equivalent to 14k) as the historically dominant Eastern European standard in Polish jewelry, stamped as an explicit number rather than a karat symbol.
Poland's central bank (NBP) has carried out one of Europe's largest sovereign gold purchases in recent years, notably raising its gold reserves as part of a declared strategy to boost monetary independence from both the Euro and the Dollar.
The Polish Zloty remains an independent national currency despite Poland's EU membership, meaning local gold prices are affected by an additional currency pair (Zloty against Euro) unlike neighboring Eurozone countries.
Poland hosts specialized shops locally known as 'Lombard' for buying and selling used gold against quick loans, an economic phenomenon rooted in Eastern European traditions predating the socialist era.
