Gold has always been present as a mineral in the rocks of earth. Gold was formed in small amounts by nuclear fusion in stars and was "distributed" across space by a super nova however due to its neutron rich construction, most gold was probably originally formed in neutron star explosions or collisions, itself relatively rare. This may explain gold's relative rarity. When earth formed, gold was included in the substance that accreted to make up this planet we're on.
The origin of the phrase "Gold, glory, and God" can be traced back to early Spanish explorers that traveled to North America. This was a term they would use to explain why they were on their journey.

There is no specific country which is the origin of the metal we call Gold. It occurs in various concentrations anywhere where there has been volcanic activity in prehistory. Some of the places that export gold are: Wales & Cornwall in England South Africa Nigeria Africa Lower Egypt and Ethiopia Canada North America (USA) South America Russia I'm sure that there are many other places that I have missed but it gives you an idea.
