What is a Mesghal? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The mesghal (4.6875 g) is the traditional Persian unit for gold, equal to 4.6875 g or 4.608 g depending on the local standard. Locally it is written مثقال. One mesghal equals 4.6875 grams, or 0.15071 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — NOK.
Where it is used. Iranian bazaar dealers quote 17-carat (705) gold per mesghal, and the mesghal rate is published alongside the coin (Bahar Azadi) price. The unit is the trading standard in Iran and parts of the Middle East.
Pricing conventions. Because Iranian jewellery is traditionally 18K sold at a 705 assay, converting a mesghal quote to a world price requires adjusting for purity as well as weight. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. One mesghal equals 5 dirham in the old Persian system; the sooth (soot) subdivides it further for small stones.

Buying Platinum in Norway: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per mesghal, the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Norwegian Krone. Physical buyers in Norway pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Oslo, with dealers importing from continental Europe. Buyers there generally watch the LBMA price converted at the Norges Bank daily rate as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium carry 25% VAT, so most Norwegian silver investors buy stored metal abroad. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in NOK can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same mesghal of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Norway are Norwegian bullion dealers, European online dealers with insured shipping, bank deposit boxes and ETCs. The products most often quoted locally include 1 oz bullion coins, 100 g bars, vaulted allocated grams.
Local conventions. Because Norway is outside the EU customs union, imports need customs declaration even when the metal itself is VAT-free. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per mesghal with the live platinum 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 NOK quote.
