21K gold is about 6,400 EGP per gram to sell and 6,300 EGP buy-back at publication time. Shop prices add workmanship on top of the raw metal value.
The gold pound weighs 8 grams of 21K, so its raw value today is 8 × 6,400 = 51,200 EGP, before workmanship, stamping or tax.
That 100 EGP per gram is the fixed reference this site subtracts from the recorded sell price, not an observed dealer spread: we do not track what individual shops bid, and what a particular dealer pays you may be more or less. It is your real cost of entering and exiting a position.
Together with USD/EGP, yes. The gram equals the ounce in dollars times the exchange rate divided by 31.1035, adjusted for karat purity — so a stable pound passes global moves through one-for-one.
