I've seen a number of bullion products that were primarily silver with a small section that is gold-plated, but I'm wondering whether there are any bullion coins floating around that actually contain significant amounts of both silver and gold. Or would it just be too confusing to calculate the value over time?

This one is gold and platinum: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23362.html

But other than that I don't know of any. I thought I had one from Togo, but I checked and it is two oz. of silver with some laser etched gold plating.

There's a maple leaf fractional set (2006 I think) that is bimetallic silver around gold. The Canadians also have a sterling silver / niobium set ~2011-2012

The 2000 Library of Congress platinum and gold $10 coin, was the only bimetallic coin the mint has produced thus far.

When I see them at auction, they go for a hefty premium.

China has issued bimetallic gold and silver coins but they cost a BIG fortune.

Russia has also attempted to issued such coins but they too were too expensive. For example this:
