A gold coin with Jesus typically refers to a religious or commemorative coin featuring an image or representation of Jesus Christ. These coins are often used as gifts, collectibles, or for religious purposes. They can hold sentimental value for believers and collectors alike.
It doesn't refer to any sacrament the parable is about the nation of Israel. The parable of the Lost Son is in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. These three parables are about God's love for people who are lost and, in the context of the parables, God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel. The father in the parable represents God. The youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the Pharisees and the scribes. The parable was told because of the attitudes of the scribes and Pharisees. Both of these groups were self righteous and rejected Jesus. This parable along with the parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep, are rebukes to the scribes and Pharisees.

The parable of the Lost Coin is the second parable in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. If you look at the context of the parables, you will see the parables are specifically about God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel. Jesus tells these parables in response to a complaint by the scribes and Pharisees that He is associating with common people Luke 15:1-3 Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." So He spoke this parable to them, saying: Apart from the primary application to Israel, these three parables are about God's love for people who are lost.
