The Oklahoma Goldback 1 is the entry-level denomination in Goldback Inc.’s state-specific gold currency program — a negotiable instrument containing real 24K gold physically layered into the note. At 1/1000 troy oz of gold, it represents the most accessible way to hold genuine gold in a spendable, handled format. The 2025 Alpha Series introduces new allegorical artwork distinct from earlier Oklahoma issues, giving collectors following the program a fresh reason to add this denomination to their set.

The front of the note is illustrated in a richly detailed, painterly style with a green and gold color palette. The central figure is a woman on horseback, robes and hair streaming behind her as the horse charges forward at full gallop. Additional riders on horseback follow in the mid-ground, with birds in flight across the upper field. A foreground band of wildflowers anchors the composition at the base. The motto “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” appears in the lower field — a phrase drawn from 2 Timothy 4:7. The bottom border confirms the note contains 1/1000 TROY OUNCE 24K GOLD, exchangeable by Goldback Inc. in U.S. Gold Coin to Bearer on Demand. The year 2025, Goldback.com, and the “GB” logo appear on the left side border.
The back presents the same composition rendered entirely in warm gold relief with no color ink, the artwork reading through the reflective gold layer against the note ground.
The note is formatted as a standard banknote-proportioned rectangle, with the 24K gold physically integrated into the substrate — not printed or surface-plated. The serial code “OK 2025” appears on the front face.
Real gold in a genuinely unique format, state-specific artwork, and a price point that makes multiples practical — the 2025 Oklahoma Goldback 1 Alpha Series is worth picking up whether you’re building a Goldback collection or simply want gold you can hold and spend. Add it to your cart today.
