Exchange your Golden Coins by talking to the Totem of Souls at Camp. When the Totem of Souls asks: “Anything else?” answer with “Can you help me?”. The Totem of Souls will tell you they can bless you, but not for free. Answer the Totem of Souls with “What do you require of me?” to which the Totem of Souls will tell you about cursed gold, referring to Golden Coins.
Give the Golden Coins to the Totem by answering with “I’ve the gold. What can you do exactly?” and the following Blessings will become available to you:
Blessing of the Cat
Blessing of the Fox
Blessing of the Bear
Blessing of the Magpie
Blessings cost 1 Gold Coin each. You can only pick one Blessing, which lasts until you die.
Where to Find Golden Coin/Shiny Coin
The Golden Coin is a valuable item that protects you from obtaining a new Soul Flaw upon death. This passive bonus can be handy, especially if you’re dying more often than you’d like in-game.

Golden Coins can also be used as currency and exchanged for bonus effects called Blessing from the Totem of Souls. You can find Golden Coins/Shiny Coins at these locations:
2x Golden Coins can be found on top of the raised bed you spawn at
Can be found in various locations within the Regions
Can drop from enemies and can be found as loot
Bought from Jim Hooper
“Shiny coin made of gold. Apparently, it was consecrated by a church official. Perhaps that’s why its properties are uncommon in Barren Lands.”

Final Thoughts
