The Oklahoma 1 Goldback contains 1/1000th Troy Ounce of 24K Gold. This note is part of the first-ever voluntary, spendable gold currency—ideal for both collectors and everyday fractional gold use.
Design: The Oklahoma 1 Goldback features the virtue Perseverantia Perseverance, honoring the state’s origin story: the Land Run of 1889, when more than 50,000 settlers rushed to claim their piece of 160 acres. At the center of the scene, a young pioneer woman on horseback charges forward. In her hand, she grips a land stake embroidered with the word “Perseverantia,” marking her pursuit of a new beginning. Etched onto her saddle is the phrase “The Sooner State,” a call to Oklahoma’s unique identity. In the background, riders and wagons thunder across the open plains, surrounded by a richly symbolic landscape. The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, the state bird, soars overhead. Purple Coneflowers and Blue Wild Indigos bloom beneath galloping hooves. Their presence reminds us that both the land and the people who settled it were tested and endured. In this artwork, Perseverantia is more than a name. It is the heartbeat of every Oklahoman who chose not just to survive, but to build something lasting. The scripture 2 Timony 4:7 is inscribed at the bottom: “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
