Its alternate ore counterpart is Platinum Ore.

Trivia

  • Real gold is one of the softest metals, generally making it infeasible for crafting tools.
    • In Terraria, the myth of gold's strength is also perpetrated by the Goblin Tinkerer in his line "YES, gold is stronger than iron. What are they teaching these humans nowadays?".
