The 2 Oklahoma was shaped with cultural advisers and artists from several of them, and the theme itself was suggested by a registered Choctaw artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe virtue is \u003cem\u003eBenevolentia\u003c\/em\u003e, Kindness, shown as something taught rather than declared. A Cherokee mother stands at the centre in a traditional tear dress and beaded headband, a woven basket in her arms full of what the land has given. Further back, a second mother works the harvest with a papoose on her back: the same lesson, one generation along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene around them is drawn in specifics rather than generalities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA branch of the Eastern Redbud, Oklahoma's state tree, arching over the figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Illinois River flowing behind them, with dugout canoes crossing it and the connection to water that they stand for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Asi house, representing both building skill and communal life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFootprints in the soil, a quiet reference to the Trail of Tears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rainbow overhead for healing, hope and a better future.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe line inscribed along the bottom reads \u003cstrong\u003e“The greatest strength is gentleness.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this note suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2 holds 1\/500 of a troy ounce of 24-carat gold, twice the metal in a 1 note, and it tends to be the denomination people add once they have decided the format is for them. It is also the one to pick if the subject matter is why you are buying: this is the most culturally specific design in the Oklahoma series, and the detail reads far better in the hand than on a screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not buy it for the metal. At 0.002 troy oz the gold content is still small, so the price you pay is a multiple of the metal value, and a Britannia or a plain bar will always give you more gold per pound. Goldbacks earn their place as artwork and small-denomination physical gold, not as the cheapest route to bullion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUK buyer notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYard Mint supplies Goldbacks from UK stock.

They can be bought, owned, sold, collected and voluntarily exchanged where both parties agree, but no UK business is required to accept one. They also do not share the Capital Gains Tax exemption that applies to Britannias and post-1837 Sovereigns, which are sterling currency. VAT and CGT are separate questions with different answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResale depends on the gold price, the condition of the note and buyer demand at the time.
