Oklahoma 100 Goldback

Experience the pinnacle virtue of Liberty with the Oklahoma 100 Goldback featuring Libertas, paying tribute to one of the most storied military units in U.S. history: the 45th Infantry Division, known proudly as the "Thunderbird Division," forged from the Oklahoma National Guard in 1923.

The Story: Libertas stands radiant and resolute, inspired by the Liberty figure on the Oklahoma State Seal. She holds a shield bearing the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma, including the seals of the Five Civilized Tribes, symbolizing unity between Native nations and the state they helped build. Her belt displays the Osage warrior shield, peace pipe, and olive branch from the state flag.

The 45th Infantry Division, distinguished by its extraordinary number of Native American service members from the Five Civilized Tribes, brought their warrior traditions, languages, and spiritual depth into the heart of the division. Their most defining mission came on April 29, 1945, when they helped liberate Dachau Concentration Camp.

Behind Libertas, Sherman tanks and Willys MB jeeps move across the field as fighter planes streak through storm-lit skies. A bald eagle soars above while lightning crackles, conjuring the ancient spirit of the Thunderbird - a protector and force of divine justice in Native tradition.

Enduring Principle: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." - Thomas Jefferson
