Gold has a gold color, is softer ( try scratching it in a unobtrusive place), and it is NOT magnetic. Copper is very hard, has a bronze color, and at least has a weak magnetic field. Copper is also less dense that gold and is a better conductor of heat and electricity. Copper will tarnish over time while gold will never tarnish.

Copper is a reddish-brown metal with high thermal and electrical conductivity, commonly used in electrical wiring and Plumbing. Gold is a dense, soft, and malleable metal that is highly resistant to corrosion, making it valuable for jewelry and as a store of value. Gold is much rarer and more expensive than copper.

Even though gold and copper are in the same family, copper is much more reactive than gold. This is why Copper rusts more than gold, and why there are so many copper compounds (IE copper silicate...). Copper is higher in the family, giving it these characteristics.
