I just posted a comment about this on one of the crypto news videos by @crypt0 , thought i may as well put out a blog about it too for any of you coin heads and goldbugs that don't yet follow him, and haven't yet heard about it..
the British royal mint are planning to release their gold backed crypto token sometime this year, called the RMG (Royal Mint Gold) . Each will represent 1g of gold.
