In real life, gold has an earthy yellow tone. While there are a wide range of different varieties of the color gold, most are unsaturated tones of yellow and orange-yellow, and there are a variety of colors of gold depending on the alloy added such as white (in various alloys, including with nickel, nickel and zinc, nickel, zinc, and copper, or silver and palladium), green (silver; actually more of a greenish-yellow - electrum is a form of "green" gold), rose/pink (typically copper and silver), and red (copper only). But in fiction, it's not always that way.
In illustrated or animated works, "golden" objects are often colored a bright, saturated yellow. There are a few reasons why this may happen. Maybe the creators don't find a realistic golden color snappy or attention-grabbing enough. Maybe gold tones are harder to achieve than simply yellow. Maybe they feel a more realistic tone might be mistaken for bronze or brass. Whatever it may be, expect to see yellow coins, yellow crowns, and other yellow treasures.

While the color associated with right-wing libertarianism on the political compass is usually purple, in the Jreg series "Centricide" it is colored yellow because "it definitely works better aesthetically." Various ideologies that fall within this section of the compass are tinted varying shades of yellow (Anarcho-Capitalist, Libertarian, Minarchist, Hoppean, etc.) and considering they are defined by their greed and wealth, this was the intention.

The Road to El Dorado: While the golden objects tends to be in the yellow range, it's a muted yellow and not all that shiny, with a light reflectivity consistent with real world gold. The gold head Chel was stealing has a yellow face, while the back of the head is yellow-brown.

ANNO: Mutationem: Gold is one of the usable materials to upgrade weapons, as displayed with a bright yellow coloring, its item description cites it as mainly used for decoration. In one side-mission, gold coins are collected with vintage yellow, and they're later stated by an examiner to be not gold at all.

Epic Battle Fantasy: All gold is presented as a bright yellow, but with white sections to represent reflections:
Gold. The currency, the icon of which is two yellowish gold coins.
Treasure Chests, which have golden-yellow trim.

The collectible Gold Coins◊ are also yellowish.
The Gold Fish enemy resembles a fish made of gold. In EBF 4, it's all yellowish (though properly shaded), but in EBF 5, some parts are made of a more brownish metal.

Escape Lala: Enforced. All golden coins are bright yellow, including Hint Coins, which are scattered around the map. Due to the game's Retraux style, finding these coins is a literal Pixel Hunt. You will often have to click an area as small as 1 or 2 pixels. However, the yellow coloration of these pixels (which is admittedly sometimes a duller yellow due to darker lighting) helps them stand out enough for players to find them.

The Golden Touch: Zig-zagged. Many of the golden objects, whether turned gold by Midas' touch or not, have realistic tones and shading. However, some objects, such as the gold coins, appear more yellow due to their simplistic shading.

ThunderCats (1985): In the episode "All That Glitters", the gold is yellow-brown in small amounts, and unsaturated yellow in large amounts. But when the focus is on a golden object, it, well, glitters, very unrealistically. None of the gold was very well refined; it was considered waste from refining Thundrillium.

Gems of War:
The coins, which are the Global Currency, of Gold, are yellow with white light reflections and some shadows, shown in the top left of the battle screen◊, among other places.
The Treasure Gnomes and a few other characters are shown against piles of treasure, including gold. The gold is muted or yellow-brown, and not all that shiny -that's reserved for gems.
Daemon Greed has a pile of gold on his attack card. It's muted brown-yellow and very not shiny.

Extra Credits: Depending on what precisely the gold is for...
When talking about the history of money, a yellow color, with some shading, is used to represent gold, when talking about the gold standard.
When talking about video game currency, which usually uses some variant of gold... yellow-colored short cylinders with lines in brown.

In Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, which carries the Zord footage from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger Aiyon the Gold Ranger usually pilots the Cosmic Shark Zord, which is yellow and belongs to Kyuranger's Yellow Ranger.note And said Zord is not even a Shark. It's a Swordfish. It's subverted in later episodes, where Aiyon also pilots other Zords, including the one that belongs to Kyuranger's Gold Ranger.
