How much would "Create a Gold token for each creature that has died this turn" cost?

by Sorrow:

Is there a reference?

by SecretInfiltrator:

Gadrak, the Crown-Scourge puts it at a lower cost than I expected, especially considering that you get it permanently on a big flying defender that eventually will attack.

And this is almost strictly weaker.

I also have to consider that you could get nothing out of it, if you have no artifact cards in your graveyard.

The difference between a possibly expensive artifact for free and a Gold token is just so big.

As another reference, you could compare Gold to 2/2 tokens on Rise of the Dread Marn.
