Gold may be held as a coin, bar, ornament, or vessel. In Hanafi law, its underlying metal remains gold despite the change in form.
Its form alone therefore does not automatically remove zakat liability. Nisab, pure-metal content, the year, and other ownership conditions still apply.
This rule does not classify every valuable object as gold; it is about the specific metals gold and silver.
