In a chemical change a substance undergoes a change in chemical composition. The appearance of the gold was changed in this case and not chemically combined with other elements to form new substances. Thus, this change is a physical change.

What physical property is described when aluminum can be hammered into thin sheets?

Yes. Aluminium is a metal and a very malleable (can be hammered into sheets) metal as well. To prove this, 'tin' foil used to wrap food for cooking (like 'Bacofoil') is actually made from aluminum and not tin. The most malleable metal is gold - it can be hammered into thin 'gold leaf' sheets that can be so thin that they are just a few atoms thick. Aluminium is not as malleable as this, but it can easily be made into foil.
