The Rashadi gold lira in Jordan is about 591.40 JOD today, Thursday, 15 October 2026, derived from the 21k gram price (84.20 JOD, per the syndicate bulletin) × 7 grams plus an estimated fee. Selling one back to a shop is valued at the buy price (80.40 JOD per gram), roughly 562.80 JOD.
The Rashadi lira is the Ottoman gold lira minted under Sultan Mehmed V Reşad (1909 to 1918). Its original weight is 7.216 g of 22k gold (91.7% pure), about 6.6 g of pure gold. The Jordanian syndicate prices it by a fixed convention: 7 grams of 21k, which is the number you will see in shops.
Rashadi liras are used in Jordan for saving, as wedding gifts and for newborns. Their fee is low (about one to three dinars above the gold value), so they hold value on resale better than jewellery. Note that newly minted replicas with the same weight and purity are common and sell at gold value, while genuine old coins may fetch slightly more from collectors.
Half and quarter Rashadi coins are rare in Jordan; the full lira is what trades. For comparison, the English lira weighs 8 g and is about 675.60 JOD today.
