What is a Don? Silver weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The don (3.75 g) is the Korean unit for gold, used for every traditional gift item. Locally it is written 돈. One don equals 3.75 grams, or 0.12057 troy ounces, which at today's silver spot price works out to — MXN.
Where it is used. First-birthday (dol) gold rings are classically one don, and jewellery shops in Jongno quote buy and sell rates per don daily. The unit is the trading standard in South Korea.
Pricing conventions. Korean shops add a workmanship charge on top of the metal value and buy back at a discount, so the round-trip cost on a one-don ring can be significant relative to its metal content. 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. Ten don make one nyang (37.5 g), the Korean equivalent of the tael.

Buying Silver in Mexico: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per don, the price you see here is the international XAG spot price converted into Mexican Peso. Physical buyers in Mexico pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Mexico City and the Banco de México coin programme. Buyers there generally watch the Banco de México reference price and the peso-dollar rate as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver bullion is widely available because Mexico is the world's largest silver producer, but tax treatment varies by format and seller. 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 MXN can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same don of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Mexico are Banco de México and commercial banks, Casa de Moneda distributors, coin dealers and online dealers. The products most often quoted locally include Centenario 50 pesos, Libertad gold and silver, 1 oz bars.
Local conventions. The 37.5 g Centenario and the Libertad series are the traditional local savings instruments, quoted in pesos per piece. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per don 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 MXN quote.
