Could you elaborate on the concept of a gold-backed cryptocurrency? Specifically, how does it differ from traditional fiat currencies? Does it involve the physical storage of gold? If so, how is the gold custody managed? And finally, what are the potential advantages and disadvantages of investing in such a currency compared to other digital assets or traditional gold investments? I'm particularly interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms that give these cryptocurrencies their gold-backed status.

The mechanism of a gold-backed token typically involves the issuance of digital tokens that are backed one-to-one by physical gold held in secure vaults. This ensures that each token represents a real asset and allows for redemption of the tokens for the equivalent amount of gold.
