What denominations does the Oklahoma Goldback series include?
We carry Oklahoma Goldbacks in eight denominations: the ½, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 Goldback. That range runs from 1/2,000 to 1/10 of a troy ounce of gold, so you can start with one small note or build a full set. There are no order minimums.
How much gold is in an Oklahoma Goldback?
Each Oklahoma Goldback holds a fixed amount of .9999 fine 24k gold, set by its denomination. The ½ holds 1/2,000 of a troy ounce, the 1 holds 1/1,000, the 10 holds 1/100 and the 100 holds 1/10. The gold is physically embedded in the note through a patented vacuum deposition process.

The ½ shows Honestas (Honor) driving longhorns on the Chisholm Trail, and the 1 shows Perseverantia (Perseverance) in the Land Run of 1889. The 5 recalls the 1905 Glenpool Oil Strike, the 25 shows Hospitalitas (Hospitality) on Route 66, and the 100 honors the 45th Infantry "Thunderbird" Division of the Oklahoma National Guard.
