The 5 Oklahoma looks at a specific week in 1905 when the Glenpool strike turned a farming state into an oil state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe virtue is \u003cem\u003eIndustria\u003c\/em\u003e, Industry. A young woman strides through the oil fields, clothes still dusted with earth, wearing an expression that is somewhere between pride and disbelief. A tool belt stamped \u003cstrong\u003e1905\u003c\/strong\u003e sits at her waist. A horseshoe necklace — the traditional sign of good fortune — swings as she moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind her a derrick erupts and the wildcatters cheer.

Even at this denomination the premium over spot is substantial, and Goldbacks are not the product to choose if your aim is maximum metal per pound.

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.
