gold
金 centers on the metal gold, both as a material and as a symbol of value. It is the core idea behind money and metallic things in general.
金 originally depicted metal pieces in the ground, with the top representing a cover or roof and the lower part showing nuggets or ingots. The modern form retains this general structure.
The top looks like a roof covering something valuable, and the lower part shows shiny nuggets or bars. Together they form the image of gold hidden under a shelter.
For キン, imagine a king's golden crown: king -> キン, and the crown is made of pure gold.
