Loaning Gold Coins

Question
I gave my nephew a number of gold coins three years ago, and I stipulated that he should return them in gold just as he took them, and he agreed to that. Is this permissible, and does this constitute usury?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: the loan is valid and will return to you gold as taken, and God knows best.
