The Oklahoma Goldback series is a negotiable instrument containing actual 24K gold layered within a durable polymer substrate — physical gold in a spendable, tradeable format. The 50 denomination is the highest in the Oklahoma series and carries 1/20th of a troy ounce of 24K gold, making it the most substantial single note in the lineup. The Alpha Series 2025 artwork depicts Vigilantia — a personification of vigilance — rendered in a dramatic contemporary scene unique to this denomination.

- Release Type: Alpha Release – Limited Mintages
The obverse is the most cinematically composed design in the Oklahoma Alpha series. Vigilantia is depicted as a storm chaser — a woman crouched low behind a professional camera on a tripod, her expression focused and determined as she films directly into a darkening sky. Her hair whips forward in the wind. Behind her, a tornado funnel drops from a storm-laden sky rendered in dramatic grayscale tones, lightning suggested in the churning clouds. Scattered around her in the field, weather monitoring instruments — including a satellite dish and an anemometer tower — establish the scene as one of deliberate, courageous observation rather than retreat. A scroll banner at the base reads Vigilantia, with the caption “Do you your guard, stand firm in faith” beneath it.
The border is framed in the series’ signature purple and gold ornamental pattern — a distinct color choice that sets the 50 denomination apart visually from the lower notes. The denomination 50 appears in each corner, the GB Alpha 2025 seal and Goldback.com sit in the lower left field alongside the series identifier OK2025. At the base, bold text confirms 1/20 oz Troy Ounce 24K Gold, with the statement that the note is exchangeable by Goldback Inc. to US Gold Coin to Bearer on Demand. The note carries US Patent Pending status.
