Is this a good starter to a 500 word story and does it make sense. How could I improve?

The scintillating golden coin showered its fiery heat from hell onto me, it was as if it was mocking me when it calmly stroked my sunburnt body.

Why don't you see that 'fiery heat from hell' is a totally different feeling from 'calmly stroked'?

Excellent except for the punctuation. The scintillating, golden coin showered its fiery heat from hell onto me; it was as if it was mocking me when it calmly stroked my sunburned body.

To me, this makes no sense at all. How does an inanimate object -- a coin -- stroke one's body? How can it be calm at the same time it is showering fiery heat from hell? You have a run-on sentence.

You should focus more on the story you are trying to tell, and less on the vocabulary. It sounds as though you are writing with a thesaurus in front of you, and picking words you find appealing, as opposed to words that will explain the plot.
