Not as a state, but Golden served as a territorial capital. From 1860-61 it was the capital of the unrecognized Territory of Jefferson, and from 1862-1867 the capital of its successor, the Territory of Colorado.

Golden was the territorial capital of Colorado from 1862-1867.

Golden had previously been the second capital of the proclaimed but unrecognized Territory of Jefferson (1860-1861), which consisted of far western counties of the Nebraska and Kansas territories. Just as it succeeded Denver City in that role, so Denver succeeded it in 1867, and continued as state capital when statehood was granted in 1876.
