BRICS note is never going to be a real thing.

Fiat money is everything about trust, and BRICS countries don't trust each other at that level.

PS: backed partially by gold is an illusion, as it also has to be trusted, as it's not possible to verify it.

Exactly.

That's why that "gold backed money" would be just like any other fiat money.
