<p>No, there are only 12 for the 12 zodiac signs. They are one of a kind, so there is only ever one key that can exist for each zodiac.</p>

In the episode where Lucy got Leo she did not summon the celestial king like most spirits he can open his gate himself so he probably felt a disturbance in the magic and came face to face with mardgeer and even if a key is broken it is remade and is thrown back into the world and the person who wants the key has to go and refined it

Actually, there are 13, not 12. You're forgetting the 13th gate belonging to Yukino Agria, the Gate of the Snake Charmer, Ophiuchus.

<p>SPOILERS (Unless you about finished the 2009 series)</p>

<p>Yes. In the 164th episode of the 2009 series, a character uses a golden key that unleashes the star constellation Ophiuchus, aka the serpent charmer. Yes, the golden keys are all zodiacs, but Ophiuchus is an exception. Ophiuchus is pronounced as (Oh-Fyoo-Shiss)</p>

<p>I think that the King of the Underworld Mard Geer and the Celestial Spirit King fight more than 1 fights because in episode 249 Mard Geer said to the Celestial Spirit King "I don't believe I will lose to you this time, either."</p>

<p><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/H9HQul.jpg" alt="Screencap of Mrd Geer saying the dialog in episode 249"></p>

<p>but it's impossible for Mard Geer to go to the Celestial World, so I believe that a golden key or more was destroyed before Aquarius.</p>

<p>Are there more than 12 golden keys?</p>

Well, technically there are 13 gates, so yeah, there are more than 12 golden keys.
