There's nothing special about it. Gold is more or less nonreactive, but that's not a special property. What makes it valuable is its rarity, not its nonreactivity. Mercury is similarly nonreactive, but not nearly as valuable.

Does gold and silver have low reactivity?

Yes, gold and silver are at the bottom of the reactivity chart and therefore less likely to rust when in contact with water. Iron on the other hand, is at the top of the reactivity chart and will react to water in a way so that it would rust. This is why we do not use iron, which is cheap and durable, to make coins almost anytime in history.

Why is gold low in its reactivity?

Gold is low in reactivity because it has a stable electron configuration with a full outermost energy level. This full outer shell makes gold less likely to form chemical bonds with other elements, resulting in low reactivity. Additionally, the strong metallic bonds in gold make it resistant to oxidation and corrosion.
