What is a Gram? Gold weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The gram is the everyday retail unit for precious metals outside the English-speaking wholesale market. One gram equals 1 grams, or 0.03215 troy ounces, which at today's gold spot price works out to — RUB.
Where it is used. Jewellers, pawn shops and scrap buyers all quote per gram, and small investment bars start at 1 g, 5 g, 10 g, 20 g, 50 g and 100 g. The unit is the trading standard in Europe, Middle East and most retail markets.
Pricing conventions. Premiums rise sharply as gram size falls: a 1 g bar can cost 20–40% over melt value, while a 100 g bar sits within a few percent of spot. Scrap offers are usually a discount to the gram price by karat. Gold is the metal most often traded in these traditional units, because jewellery and savings demand kept the old weights alive long after industry went metric.
Good to know. Gram pricing is also how most karat calculations are done: multiply the gram price by the purity fraction (for example 0.750 for 18K).

Buying Gold in Russia: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per gram, the price you see here is the international XAU spot price converted into Russian Ruble. Physical buyers in Russia pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Moscow, through bank bullion desks. Buyers there generally watch the Central Bank of Russia daily metal price in rubles per gram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. VAT on retail investment gold bars was removed, making physical bars competitive with unallocated metal accounts. Gold is the deepest of the four precious metals markets, so local retail spreads are usually the tightest and buy-back is easiest. That is why the shop price of gold in RUB can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same gram of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Russia are Sberbank and VTB bullion desks, unallocated metal accounts (OMS), coin programmes and refiners. The products most often quoted locally include Georgy Pobedonosets coins, 100 g and 1 kg bars, palladium bars.
Local conventions. Bank unallocated metal accounts are a long-standing local savings format, quoted in rubles per gram. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per gram with the live gold price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline RUB quote.
