None that I know of. The idea behind having a different metal in the core of any coin is to increase the coin's structural integrity. Gold is quite soft and though valuable, would make a poor choice for any coin. You may be thinking of a so-called bimetallic coin. Many countries issue these coins, but they're made of brass and copper-nickel, not gold and silver. Examples are the Canadian $2 coin, the European €1 and €2 coins, and the British £2 coin.
