2011 Republic of Texas Copper Round Overview

The 2011 Republic of Texas Copper Round, “Honest Money,” is a privately issued one-ounce .999 fine copper bullion piece associated with Republic of Texas — specifically the organization operating through the TexasRepublic.info web presence under Senator Ed Brannum and Senator Bob Wilson. The round pairs a faceted Lone Star and territorial-outline obverse with an organizational reverse promoting “Honest Money,” “Honest Courts,” and “Honest Governing,” denominated in “TWO UNITS.”

2011 Republic of Texas Copper Round Attribution

The organization’s sibling silver medallion (Alamo/FIFTY design, same issuing source) is documented as AOCS Approved, per archived AOCS Mint product catalogs from 2011. Because this copper round shares an issuing organization, era, and direct-sale channel with that AOCS-Approved silver piece, the Mint field is attributed to AOCS Mint (Frisco, TX), with North American Mint (Rochester, NY) — AOCS Mint’s documented manufacturing partner for approximately 2009–2011 — noted as the suspected, unconfirmed manufacturing partner.

Unlike the sibling silver medallion, this round’s own reverse legend does not include an “AOCS Approved” mark. The AOCS Mint attribution here rests on organizational and chronological association rather than a struck mark on the coin itself, and is flagged as attributed, not confirmed. Per site standard, this round does not carry the AOCS Collection badge, since that requires a struck mark rather than circumstantial association.
