Unless I am mistaken, that is far more gold than necessary, considering that gilders can gild a square meter of material with gold nuggets barely an ounce in weight.

Neither does the fact that neither the karat of the gold is specified, nor the weight or density, and the fact that from your 19.3, one can turn a HOLLOW, THIN CHESTPLATE, plus the blade of a DAGGER and equal the same amount of gold. My point is, gold is so common that to cheapen anything by its cost in gold is useless.
