well since gold and silver are “not real colors” you might have to resort to doing something like this
http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/text-effects-tutorials/how-to-create-a-gold-text-effect-in-photoshop/
and although that page is for photoshop, since you are using Adobe illustrator(im assuming) so it will work fine.
You will have to look through the pantone metallic colors in the color swatches. They wont look golden on the computer screen but once it is printed it will.
don’t print on a matt coating if you want it to be metallic use a coated type of card stock to get the shiny effect.
There isn’t really a swatch number for ‘Gold’ in Adobe since it’s more of a metallic ‘effect’ rather than an outright color. But you can choose a color that’s the shade of mustard and then apply a metallic effect on it so it looks gold.
