Hello and welcome. 
Your coin is, sadly, not gold. It is a somewhat crude replica of the type of coin you've described: a "pirate doubloon". Pieces like this are commonly sold as souvenirs at pirate-themed tourist traps. This thread has another coin exactly like yours - the same shape, design and everything. This old thread has a third example. The little "owl face" above the pillars, where the crown is supposed to be on genuine coins, is very distinctive.

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
