You're welcome Sully. I looked it up 'cause I didn't know myself.

Thanks for asking!  (or you will in a minute. LOL)

There are two different meanings for a golden number. A golden number in mathematics is usually used to refer to the golden ratio, a way in which two quantities interact. A golden number may also refer to a number given to a year to indicate where it falls in an astrological sequence, the Metonic cycle.  Meton of Athens, an astronomer, discovered that 19 years corresponded almost exactly to 235 lunar months. The Metonic cycle was used as the basis for the Western calendar systems until the advent of the Julian calendar in the 1st century. A number of surviving calendar systems, most notably the Hebrew calendar, continue to be based on a 19-year cycle. Because twelve lunar months is substantially less than a true tropical year, the Metonic cycle included additional months in the 3rd year, 5th year, 8th year, 11th year, 13th year, 16th year, and 19th year of the cycle.
