Gold is a Ghost of Tsushima resource and crafting material found while exploring the world, especially when clearing Mongol territories and camps.
The Ghost of Tsushima Gold plays an important role when it comes to upgrading Jin’s katana and tanto. Steel and Iron are two materials similar to this type of metal.

As a crafting material, along with other types of metal, Gold is used to upgrade Jin’s swords. This is done at any Swordsmith in a friendly village.
Where To Find Gold in Ghost of Tsushima
This metal can be considered the equivalent of Wax Wood, meaning it is scarce but used to upgrade swords. As you can see in the picture above, you will be able to get it as a reward for liberating the Mongol Strongholds. On your map, they look like large huts.
For each Stronghold, you will get two bars. Other than this, you can also buy it from Trappers. For example, the one in Jogaku Temple (the last area) will trade 1 unit for 300 Supplies.
