You want it at home. The real value in your of gold is when society collapses it still is a nice metal and so has value. Iron would work to but your house isn't big enough for your life savings in iron.
I don't think society will collapse and lacking that scenario gold isn't a better investment.
Gold is money. Central banks are the biggest buyers, and that’s not as a hedge if society collapses. It’s an escape hedge from money printing and an universal medium of exchange
