1999 Republic of Texas Silver Round
The obverse features: a faceted Lone Star, oak wreath, “Republic of Texas” legend, small hooked control symbol at lower right. The hooked symbol appears consistently on observed examples from this early Republic of Texas bullion family, though its meaning and attribution remain unresolved.
The reverse depicts: outline of Texas, “Remember The Alamo”, “A Nation Free Under GOD”, “One R.T. Unit”, “One Troy oz. .999 Fine Silver”, date “1999”. The use of “R.T. Unit” reflects an alternative denomination system observed on several early Republic of Texas bullion issues.
A Nation Free Under God
Overview
The 1999 Republic of Texas silver round is a privately issued one-ounce .999 fine silver bullion piece associated with the broader modern Republic of Texas movement ecosystem. The round features a wreath-and-star obverse paired with a reverse depicting the outline of Texas and the phrase “Remember The Alamo.”
The issue represents the earliest currently observed Republic of Texas bullion piece documented on The Texas Stacker and belongs to an early Republic of Texas bullion family characterized by “R.T. Unit” denomination language and a recurring hooked control symbol on the obverse.
Edge
Observed 1999 examples display a standard reeded edge. Unlike the related 2000 Republic of Texas silver round, no serialized edge numbering has been observed on currently documented 1999 examples.
Attribution
Manufacturer attribution remains unresolved.
The round displays no confirmed mint mark or direct manufacturer identification. Attribution standards used on The Texas Stacker rely on:
- mint marks
- primary-source documentation
- direct testimony
- or confirmed die-link analysis
Unsupported stylistic speculation is intentionally avoided.
Numismatic Context
The 1999 issue belongs to the earliest currently observed Republic of Texas bullion family documented on The Texas Stacker. Related 2000 examples share the same general obverse design language and denomination system but additionally feature serialized edge numbering.
Later Republic of Texas bullion issues evolved into a separate Texas-outline/star design family observed from 2010 onward, featuring different denomination systems, organizational identifiers, and recurring “AOCS Approved” markings.
