On the Oklahoma ½, the virtue Honestas—Honor—is embodied by a fearless young cowgirl guiding her herd along the Chisholm Trail. Set near Red River Station, this artwork captures a powerful moment in time. A determined cowgirl steers a herd of longhorns branded with “1867,” the year the trail was formally established. Her strength, calm resolve, and quiet grace reflect the values of those who rode this trail before her: people who did the hard work and did it right. Subtle details throughout the image evoke trail life. A worn wagon wheel and Chisholm trail marker lie half-buried in the dust. A hawk soars overhead, symbolizing freedom and vigilance. Along the bottom, the scripture Colossians 3:23 is inscribed: “Whatever you do, do it heartily.” This scene is more than historical—it’s a tribute to a way of life, to the riders who endured long days with courage and conviction, and to the honor that lives on in Oklahoma hearts today. The Oklahoma 1 Goldback features the virtue Perseverantia—Perseverance—honoring the state’s origin story: the Land Run of 1889, when more than 50,000 settlers rushed to claim their piece of 160 acres. At the center of the scene, a young pioneer woman on horseback charges forward. In her hand, she grips a land stake embroidered with the word “Perseverantia,” marking her pursuit of a new beginning. Etched onto her saddle is the phrase “The Sooner State,” a call to Oklahoma’s unique identity. In the background, riders and wagons thunder across the open plains, surrounded by a richly symbolic landscape. The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, the state bird, soars overhead. Purple Coneflowers and Blue Wild Indigos bloom beneath galloping hooves. In this artwork, Perseverantia is more than a name. It is the heartbeat of every Oklahoman who chose not just to survive, but to build something lasting. The scripture 2 Timony 4:7 is inscribed at the bottom: “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” The Oklahoma 2 Goldback embodies the virtue Benevolentia, or Kindness. At the center of the scene stands a Cherokee mother wearing a traditional tear dress and beaded headband. The woven basket in her arms overflows with the bounty of the land. In the distance, a second mother tends the harvest with a papoose on her back. Above the figures, a branch of Oklahoma’s state tree—the Eastern Redbud—arches over the scene. Flowing behind the figures is the Illinois River. Dugout canoes glide across the river, illustrating the deep Indigenous connection to water. Nearby, an Asi house represents both architectural ingenuity and communal life. Footprints in the soil quietly allude to the Trail of Tears, one of the most painful chapters in American history. A rainbow arches overhead, symbolizing healing, hope, and a better future. Oklahoma today is home to 39 federally recognized tribes, each with a distinct heritage. This artwork was shaped with the input of cultural advisors and artists from several Oklahoma tribes, including a registered Choctaw artist who suggested the theme. At the bottom of this note is written the enduring truth: “The greatest strength is gentleness.” This Goldback marks a historic milestone: the first-ever 3 denomination, exclusively created as a Limited Early Release. It honors both a new chapter in the series and the creative spirit born from Oklahoma’s red earth. Beneath the skies of Black Mesa State Park, the virtue Ingenium takes center stage. She reflects the soul of Oklahoma’s music, which has shaped America’s sound. From Woody Guthrie to Reba McEntire, they share Oklahoma’s stories with the world through music forged by small towns and big dreams. Ingenium stands among yucca and prairie thistle, symbols of resilience and strength. A mule deer watches while a Western Tanager soars, embodying inspiration. Her embroidered jeans bear the Oklahoma Rose, a quiet tribute to her roots. An inscription at the bottom reads: “Oh sing to the Lord a new song.” — Psalm 98:1
