During this period, Iran’s precious metals market has experienced an unprecedented transformation, marked by silver’s striking ascendancy and its widening gap from other assets. According to published data, silver, with a 917% return, has been the undeniable phenomenon of this era—its performance not only outpacing inflation but also elevating the metal from a largely overlooked commodity to a strategic asset.
In second place is gold coins, with an 859% return. For decades, coins have been a traditional safe haven for investors in Iran, and they have once again demonstrated their ability to preserve value and deliver exceptional returns amid economic instability. The narrow performance gap between coins and silver indicates that coins remain a primary choice for investors in times of uncertainty.
But the story doesn’t end there. 18-karat gold has also secured a solid position, with an 839% return, showing that its combination of alignment with global prices and sensitivity to domestic developments provides an attractive mix of security and profitability. At the same time, platinum, with a 584% gain, has claimed a middle position in this competition—a metal that, despite decent growth, has drawn less attention than silver and gold.
Among industrial metals, copper has achieved a 358% return, demonstrating that, despite global fluctuations, it has outpaced inflation in the domestic market—though it still lags significantly behind precious metals. Palladium, with 156% growth, recorded the lowest return among the six assets examined, illustrating that its sensitivity to global markets and industrial demand produces comparatively limited profitability in Iran’s economic context.
Taken together, these figures convey a central message: the combination of structural inflation, currency volatility, shifts in industrial demand, and economic expectations has redrawn the map of asset profitability in Iran. Silver, long relegated to the sidelines, has now become one of the most attractive investment instruments—a phenomenon that may warrant greater attention from policymakers, market participants, and analysts alike.
