Economics (UK English,; US English) is "a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services" according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

The discipline was renamed in the late 19th century primarily due to Alfred Marshall from "political economy" to "economics" as a shorter term for "economic science" at a time when it became more open to rigorous thinking and made increased use of mathematics, which helped support efforts to have it accepted as a science and as a separate discipline outside of political science and other social sciences.

A precious metal is a rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical element of high economic value.

Gold is a chemical element with symbol Au (from) and atomic number 79.

In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal.

Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element.

It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions.

Gold often occurs in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins, and in alluvial deposits.

It occurs in a solid solution series with the native element silver (as electrum) and also naturally alloyed with copper and palladium.

Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, often with tellurium (gold tellurides).
