K[Au(CN)2(SCN)2]

Coordination numbers of Au = ?

K[Au(CN)2(SCN)2] \rightleftharpoons K+ + [Au(CN)2(SCN)2]-

Coordination Number is the number of atoms or ions surrounding the central atom.

In [Au(CN)2(SCN)2]- , 4 ions are present around the central atom i.e. 2 of CN- and 2 of SCN-

So, the coordination number of Au is 4. [Answer]
