Gold swatches?

I'm designing a  finishers medal and I want to simulate a gold effect in Illustrator CC on type and a logo. I read  the best way to do this is with gold swatches. Where's a reputable place to obtain professionally produced gold Illustrator swatches? Also, does anyone have any links to a good tutorial that covers this topic?

Thanks!

This should just be printed and look like it's already a 3D medal?

In that case, try gradients to simulate it. There are some metal gradients in the swatches libraries

Actually, it's a printed image inside of a real medal. Here's an example, provide by the medal supplier. Actually, maybe too much gold would be overkill. I like the way the Department of Education logo comes off in this example, with just a touch of flat gold and a 2D image.
