Oklahoma 1/20th Troy OZ 24KT Gold (50) 2024

Introducing the Oklahoma Goldback 1/20th Note – A Powerful Tribute to Vigilance and the Spirit of the Storm

The Oklahoma 50 Goldback contains 1/20th of a troy ounce of 24-karat gold and stands as a shining example of the world’s first voluntary, spendable gold currency. Whether collected for its beauty or used for fractional gold exchange, this note captures the resilience and strength that define the Oklahoma spirit.

Crafted with precision using advanced vacuum deposition technology, each Goldback layers .9999 fine gold within a durable polymer design. This combination of artistry and innovation creates a lasting, functional currency that reflects both value and meaning.

The Oklahoma 50 Goldback honors the virtue Vigilantia—Vigilance—through a striking portrayal of courage in the face of nature’s fury. In the midst of Oklahoma’s tall prairie grass, a composed young woman kneels, unwavering as a tornado churns across the distant horizon. She is calm, focused, and resolute—symbolizing not just survival, but leadership in understanding and confronting severe weather. Surrounding her are the tools of modern storm science: a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) radar truck, a mobile mesonet vehicle, and a rising weather balloon—all representing Oklahoma’s globally recognized contributions to meteorology.

At her side, an equipment case quietly bears the name “Vigilantia,” affirming the strength and readiness she embodies. With over 60 tornadoes on average each year—some among the most intense on Earth—Oklahomans have not only weathered the storms, but risen from them stronger. This note is a tribute to those who remain watchful, who respond with courage, and who protect their communities in the face of danger.

Inscribed at the bottom of the note is a verse that speaks to this enduring mission: “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13. The 50 Goldback is more than currency—it is a symbol of vigilance, leadership, and the strength to weather every storm.
