It is a simple question, and it is also very important to the history of Transylvania. The geographic area where Transylvania is located has many mountains. These mountains have a lot of natural resources.
One of those resources is gold. So, yes, there is gold in Transylvania.
The Romans wanted the gold from Transylvania for themselves, and one of the most famous cities they founded in order to get it was Alba Iulia. This became the cause of conflict between them and the Dacian Kingdom.
Later, Queen Marie of Romania used gold from Transylvania to create her coronation crown.
