- Kijang Emas: Bank Negara's official price for its 999.9 gold coins, announced every working day. The gap between its selling and buying prices is your cost if you buy and later sell back.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 999 and 916 gold?
999 gold is 99.9% pure (24 karat) and is used for bars, coins and savings. 916 gold is 91.6% gold (22 karat) and is the most common jewellery gold in Malaysia because it is harder. The price of 916 gold per gram is about 91.6% of the pure gold price.
How is the gold price per gram worked out?
The world spot price in USD per troy ounce is multiplied by the USD/MYR rate and divided by 31.1035 grams. For example, USD4,000 an ounce at RM4.20 to the dollar is RM540.15 a gram of pure gold. 916 gold is that × 0.916.
Why do gold shops charge more?
Shops add a premium and a making charge (upah) on top of the gold value, and they buy back below their selling price. Use the jewellery price check on this page to see what percentage above the gold value you are paying.

How do I check the price of 916 jewellery?
Gold value = weight × pure gold price × 0.916, then add the making charge per gram. If pure gold is RM500 a gram, a 10 g 916 chain holds RM4,580 of gold, and with a RM30 a gram making charge the estimate is RM4,880. Compare that with the shop's price.
