5 Oklahoma Goldbacks, Aurum Gold Foil Note

The new 5 Oklahoma Goldbacks Series of Aurum gold notes.

Goldbacks are a novel form of currency that blends the timeless value of gold with the practicality of paper money. Unlike traditional currency, which is often made from a mix of cotton and linen, Goldbacks are crafted from a thin layer of 24-karat gold. The 5 Goldbacks note contains 1/200 troy ounce of pure gold.

On the Oklahoma 5 Goldback, the virtue Industria, or Industry, is powerfully embodied by a young woman striding through the oil fields during the 1905 Glenpool Oil Strike. Clothes still dusted from the earth, the woman’s expression says it all: discovery, pride, and the electric thrill of transformation.

Around her waist, she wears a tool belt stamped with “1905.” Her horseshoe necklace swings as she moves, a traditional sign of good fortune. Floating nearby, honey bees—Oklahoma’s state insect—symbolize the steady, collective work that drives transformation. At her feet, Indian Blanket wildflowers bloom in the prairie grass. To the left, an early oil wagon labelled “Glenpool” recalls the rugged early days of petroleum transport. A windmill spins in the distance, echoing the strength of Oklahoma’s rural backbone.

Behind her, an oil derrick erupts as wildcatters—early oil prospectors—cheer in disbelief and triumph. These men were risk-takers and visionaries. Their unwavering determination built towns, livelihoods, and lasting legacy in Oklahoma’s red dirt. Inscribed at the bottom of the note is the state motto: “Labor Omnia Vincit,” or “Labor Conquers All Things.”
