There are so many ways how you can do it.

Here is a one of many ways. It is proposed that all coins already placed on scene with tag “coin”. This example is not so good, i would use events instead of link to GameManager from all coins, but this example is easier to understand.

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Attach this script anywhere on a scene

    // Set here the link to your KeyGameObject on scene
    public GameObject keyGameObject;

    int coinsTotalCount;
    int coinsCollected = 0;

    void Awake()
    {
        // Disable your KeyGameObject
        keyGameObject.SetActive(false);

        // Get how many coins on scene
        coinsTotalCount = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Coin").Length;
    }

    // Call this method from CoinScript each time you collect coin
    public void CoinCollected()
    {
        coinsCollected++;

        // If you collected all coins - show KeyGameObject
        if (coinsCollected == coinsTotalCount)
            keyGameObject.SetActive(true);
    }
}

public class Coin : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Attach this script to coin prefab

    // Set this link in prefab to your GameManager on scene
    public GameManager gameManager;

    void OnCollect()
    {
        gameManager.CoinCollected();
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}
