10 Oklahoma Goldback 1/100 oz 24K Gold Foil Aurum Note

This note’s design honors Unitas—Unity—through the vivid portrayal of an intertribal powwow, recognizing Oklahoma as home to the largest number of Native American tribal nations in the United States.

At the forefront, a Fancy Shawl Dancer performs with grace, her fringe mimicking the movement of butterflies and hummingbirds. Behind her, a men’s Fancy Dancer energizes the scene with bold colors and dynamic steps. These figures are modeled after real individuals—Mike Pahsetopah of the Osage Nation, a world champion Fancy Dancer and cultural ambassador, and his daughter Heaven, a nationally recognized Fancy Shawl Dancer.

Heaven’s suggestion to include a Ruby-throated Hummingbird adds a symbol of renewal and joy, while a buffalo in the background represents strength and survival. A raven soars with a flowing ribbon inscribed with “Unitas,” embodying the sharing of sacred knowledge. The sky is alive with black swallowtail butterflies, and the ground blooms with Indian blanket flowers—the state wildflower. The inscription at the base reads: “Walk in harmony with all things.
