In many cases it was probably done to improve the appearance of the central bank reserve accounts. The gold was on the books at $35 (or so), so selling made the books "look" better. Some European CBs may have done some rearrangements to meet various EU requirements. Reserves probably got invested in marketable government securities, relatively low return.
