Each 5 Oklahoma Goldback Gold Note arrives in its own protective sleeve. The note showcases imagery honoring Oklahoma’s rich history.

Each Oklahoma Goldback also includes a special UV feature on the reverse for added security.

The story behind this design goes back to Oklahoma’s oil boom, which took off in 1897 after the Nellie Johnstone No. 1 well near Bartlesville struck oil. That discovery kicked off a wave of development that helped turn Oklahoma into a major player in the energy industry. The Glenn Pool field discovery in 1905 and other major strikes helped put Tulsa on the map as the “Oil Capital of the World.” By the 1920s, Oklahoma had become the top oil-producing state in the country.

The artwork on the 5 Oklahoma Goldback captures this turning point in the state’s history. It shows a group of prospectors celebrating near a well that’s just hit oil. The scene speaks to the highs and lows of Oklahoma’s oil legacy—a legacy that helped shape its economy and drive advancements in energy production, from early drilling to today’s modern methods.
