The government is required by the Constitution to implement a currency backed by gold;

Article 1 section 10 prohibits states from making any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.

Excellent, now we see the proof that Tax Government was incorrect. Glad I could help.

I have been searching also, and have not found a specific provision that requires gold as national currency. For that, I am surprised. And so, I need to see how and why I had that belief.

In the meantime, it’s clear that the section you quote requires the states to do something different from what they are now doing.
