The 10 Goldback – Unitas (Unity) depicts a vibrant intertribal powwow with real-life dancers from the Osage Nation, celebrating Native excellence and cultural connection through movement and tradition. The 25 Goldback – Hospitalitas (Hospitality) invites collectors into the golden age of Route 66, with a smiling woman seated on a 1960 Chevrolet Impala as a symbol of Oklahoma’s legendary roadside warmth.

The 50 Goldback – Vigilantia (Vigilance) honors the state’s leadership in tornado research and meteorology, portraying a composed storm chaser amidst dramatic skies and scientific equipment. The collection culminates with the 100 Goldback – Libertas (Liberty), a moving tribute to the 45th Infantry Division and their role in liberating Dachau in World War II, with the Roman goddess Libertas walking beside Oklahoma’s Native and Allied soldiers.

Together, these eight notes form a powerful and cohesive narrative of Oklahoma’s spirit—blending cultural pride, resilience, and shared purpose. More than just works of art, each note is a functional piece of 24-karat gold currency designed for everyday use and built to preserve value in the face of inflation.
