The Design
The central figure on the Oklahoma 50 Goldback represents Vigilantia, a personification of Vigilance and unshakable calm in the eye of the storm. She kneels in tall prairie grass as a colossal tornado forms on the horizon—symbolizing unwavering courage in the face of nature’s fiercest challenges.
Behind her are cutting-edge tools used in modern storm science: a Doppler on Wheels (DOW) unit, a mobile mesonet vehicle, and a weather balloon—all critical instruments in the ongoing effort to predict and understand severe weather.
Her gear case is emblazoned with her name, “Vigilantia,” a quiet yet bold declaration of purpose. She stands as a tribute not only to Oklahomans who face tornadoes head-on, but to the scientists and storm chasers who work tirelessly to keep communities informed and safe.
Oklahoma experiences more than 60 tornadoes annually, many among the most powerful on Earth. Yet the people of this state do more than endure these storms—they lead the world in understanding and preparing for them.
The note honors that resilient legacy, one rooted in neighborly strength, scientific progress, and collective resolve. It reminds us that to be an Oklahoman means not just to weather the storm—but to stand ready for those beside you.
At the bottom of the note is inscribed a verse that captures the spirit of this mission:
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith, be courageous, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13
Goldback Notes
Goldbacks are a unique form of voluntary, non-legal-tender currency, accepted in a growing number of local economies including Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, New Hampshire, South Dakota, and now Oklahoma.
Each Goldback contains thinly embedded layers of 24-karat gold within durable polymer film. Their unique design and divisible denominations—ranging from 1/2 to 100 Goldbacks—make them ideal for fractional gold ownership and day-to-day trade.
Though not issued by a government, Goldbacks are prized for their gold content and detailed artwork that brings classical virtues to life.
Note: The year of issue may vary depending on available stock.
