Oklahoma 2 Goldback

Oklahoma 2 Goldback - Benevolentia (Kindness) - 1/500th Troy Ounce 24k Gold

Discover the virtue of Kindness with the Oklahoma 2 Goldback featuring Benevolentia, honoring the wisdom and generosity of Indigenous women in the fertile river valleys of Tahlequah, capital of the Cherokee Nation. This beautiful design celebrates Native matriarchs whose stewardship forms the bedrock of tribal life.

The Story: At the center stands a Cherokee mother wearing a traditional tear dress and beaded headband, with a woven basket overflowing with corn, beans, squash, and strawberries representing the Three Sisters planting tradition. The Eastern Redbud arches overhead with delicate blossoms symbolizing renewal and the enduring bond between people and land.

The Illinois River flows behind the figures, with dugout canoes illustrating the deep Indigenous connection to water as a source of life, travel, and spirituality. A rainbow arches overhead, symbolizing healing, hope, and a better future carried forward by those who refused to let their culture fade.

Enduring Principle: "The greatest strength is gentleness."

Oklahoma today is home to 39 federally recognized tribes, and this artwork honors the matrilineal traditions where women were not only caregivers but also landowners, farmers, educators, warriors, and leaders.
