1/2000 Troy Ounce 24K Gold Oklahoma Goldback

1/2000 Troy Ounce 24K Gold Oklahoma Goldback This 2024 Oklahoma Goldback represents a unique form of voluntary local currency and a fractional gold bullion instrument, containing precisely 1/2000th of a troy ounce of 24-karat gold. The note features the personification of "Honestas" (Honesty), depicted as a rugged Oklahoma cowgirl on horseback, capturing a steer with a lasso to symbolize the state's deep agricultural roots and the "Land Run" spirit of 1889. The intricate artwork includes a Red-tailed Hawk in flight and a longhorn cattle bearing the year 1867, referencing the beginning of the major cattle drives through the territory. Produced using proprietary vacuum deposition technology, the gold is layered between protective polymer sheets, resulting in a durable, flexible, and visually stunning gold note that carries a "One Half" denomination. Each note serves as a legally distinct negotiable instrument, exchangeable for gold coin through Goldback Inc., and includes sophisticated security features such as a unique serial number (AU151504) and a mirrored reverse image that verifies the gold content is embedded within the film. Condition: The item appears to be in Uncirculated condition, showing crisp edges and no visible folds, creases, or handling wear. The polymer-protected surfaces retain their original luster and high-detail resolution without signs of environmental damage.
