A flat reference price does not imply identical retail offers; premiums, inventory and service costs may still vary.
The latest saved Canada reading places 24K Gold (per gram) at C$195,26, with Gold Ounce shown at C$6 073,86. These figures are a market reference; a final quotation can vary with the product’s weight, purity, dealer premium and any applicable charges.
