We can transmute things into gold in real life. I live near a university that successfully created gold using a nuclear reactor and a particle accelerator to barrage a sample (I do think it was lead) with protons for 25 hours. It costs more to run than you'd ever make selling the gold, but the point remains that we can do this *in real life* as of like a decade ago. There is literally no reason *fucking wizards* would not be able to permanently transmute something into gold.

Fun fact; Balthasar wasn't originally the Empire's signature Wizard special character; when the first Empire army book rolled out for 4th edition Warhammer Fantasy Battles, the Empire's special character list contained two super special Wizards: Tzarina Katarin of Kislev, the Ice Witch, and Thyrus Gormann, Head of the College of Fire and Supreme Patriarch of Imperial Wizards. Balthasar was introduced in 6th edition's Empire army book, and whilst Thryus did get an official update on the GW website to 6e, with the option to represent him as Supreme Patriarch once more by swapping out his signature Fire Magic-boosting staff for the Staff of Volans carried by Balthasar, he never made it into the 7e or 8e Empire books, being overtaken by Balthasar.

Funny story: in WFRPG (the TTRPG of Warhammer Fantasy) my party interacted with Gelt, after hearing of the bounty in the harbor district. The scheming merchant, ever looking for money, convinced the Patriarch to turn a fake metal mask, which looked exactly like his, to gold and fool the pirate with it. Gelt agreed, but only after making sure he would get half of the bounty for himself. The pirate was fooled by the mask (because we stuffed a half-rotten head inside) and gave us the gold. It is said that even today, one can hear the enraged screams of a pirate captain near Altdorf, yelling about Gelt haunting him until his dying day. Oh yeah, the helmet turned back to iron after we left btw.
