What is a Momme? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The momme (3.75 g) is the traditional Japanese unit of mass, best known for pearls but also used for precious metals. Locally it is written 匁. One momme equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — RUB.
Where it is used. Japanese jewellers and pearl dealers quote per momme, and it is the unit behind many antique Japanese silver weights. The unit is the trading standard in Japan.
Pricing conventions. Japanese bullion dealers publish tax-inclusive yen prices per gram, so a momme quote is usually a conversion rather than the headline rate. 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 momme equals one tenth of a Taiwanese tael and matches the Korean don exactly.

Buying Platinum in Russia: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per momme, the price you see here is the international XPT 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. Silver, platinum and palladium bars are also sold through banks, with Russia a major palladium producer. 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 RUB can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same momme 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 momme 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 RUB quote.
