1/2 Oklahoma Goldback Gold Note

Goldbacks offer a unique form of purchasing power and collectible brilliance in a single package. As the series continues to expand in 2025, Oklahoma Goldbacks join the growing collection. 

Oklahoma’s cowboy culture emerged during the late 19th century when the territory served as a crucial crossroads for massive cattle drives from Texas to Kansas railheads, with legendary trails like the Chisholm Trail cutting directly through the region. The land runs beginning in 1889 brought together ranchers, cowboys, and settlers who established sprawling cattle operations across the prairie, creating a unique blend of frontier independence and agricultural innovation.

The design of the 1/2 Oklahoma Goldback Gold Notes features a cowgirl on horseback as she pursues cattle and tries to rope cows. Oklahoma’s cowboy heritage solidified the state’s identity as a quintessential Western state, producing renowned rodeo champions, country music legends like Gene Autry, and maintaining working ranches that continue to embody the cowboy ethos of self-reliance, horsemanship, and connection to the land.
