I think gold and silver is still going to have value (in certain places), as a medium of exchange. In the free city of Krakow or other places where 'normal' trade still goes on, gold and silver have an agreed-upon value and are still useful. Some merchants who have dealings with such places would still value it.
It really depends on local conditions I guess.
I think that there is going to be some demand for jewellery; after all, even your average psycopathic warlord is going to want some to hang on their significant other to demonstrate their power and wealth.
