Probably the nearest thing to a golden fern is dryopteris erythrosora, known as the autumn fern, which has golden tints for most of the growing season

It is not a fern but it looks just like one have a google
golden dwarf Japanese Hinoki Cypress
if you plant it in sun it is quite golden in shade not so much. I think it will suit.

I grow (or grew) a lot of different ferns and whilst I have seen all shades of green and some metallic and reddish colours I have never seen a gold leafed fern.
