How many words does Gothic have?

[Frithureiks]

All attested words would probably be easy to count and told very exact. But maybe it is more dificult to determine what "attested" means.
Counting only the texts like the bible or also other like coins, spears, stones etc. And loanwords?

Gothic had very surely more words than all attested so answer your question with the number of all attested words wouldn't be very correct either.
