To find the ratio of the number of gold coins to the number of silver coins, you can use the formula for ratios:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of Gold Coins}}{\text{Number of Silver Coins}}
\]

In Olivia's collection, there are 7 gold coins and 2 silver coins. Thus, the ratio can be calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Ratio} = \frac{7}{2}
\]

To express this as a ratio, we write it in the form of "gold coins : silver coins":

\[
\text{Ratio} = 7 : 2
\]

Therefore, the ratio of the number of gold coins to the number of silver coins is \(7 : 2\).
