What is a Mesghal? Silver 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 silver spot price works out to — IDR.
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. Silver is bulkier per unit of value, so quotes in small traditional units are usually a conversion, while real trade happens in kilogram and 1 000 oz bars.
Good to know. One mesghal equals 5 dirham in the old Persian system; the sooth (soot) subdivides it further for small stones.

Buying Silver in Indonesia: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per mesghal, the price you see here is the international XAG spot price converted into Indonesian Rupiah. Physical buyers in Indonesia pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Jakarta, with ANTAM the dominant refiner brand. Buyers there generally watch the ANTAM daily buyback and sell price per gram as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium are niche, sold mainly through jewellers and taxed as ordinary goods. Silver is bulkier and cheaper per unit, so shipping, storage and consumption taxes matter far more to the final price than they do for gold. That is why the shop price of silver in IDR can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same mesghal of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Indonesia are ANTAM Butik Emas outlets, Pegadaian gold savings and pawn, e-commerce gold platforms and jewellers. The products most often quoted locally include ANTAM 1 g to 100 g bars, CertiEye certified bars, gold savings accounts.
Local conventions. Micro-savings in gold from 0.01 g is mainstream through Pegadaian and app platforms, priced in rupiah per gram. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per mesghal with the live silver 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 IDR quote.
