God Bless Texas Silver Round Overview
The God Bless Texas Silver Round is a privately issued one-ounce .999 fine silver round. It pairs a Texas longhorn on the obverse with the façade of the Alamo on the reverse. It carries no mint mark, no issuer name, and no struck year of issue, and it is catalogued under Unknown Mint until its maker is identified.
The obverse is the round’s dated side. A longhorn bull stands on a ground line of flowering prairie vegetation, body turned to the right and head facing the viewer. Its horns sweep nearly the full width of the field. A small raised outline of Texas sits in the upper right, “1845” is centered at the top, and “GOD BLESS TEXAS” arcs along the lower rim. The date commemorates the year Texas was annexed and admitted to the Union as the twenty-eighth state. It is a design element, not the year the round was struck.
The reverse shows a frontal view of the Alamo church in moderate relief, with heavily textured stonework. The arched central doorway, flanking columns and statuary niches, upper windows, and curved parapet at the roofline are all rendered. “MADE IN TEXAS” arcs above the building, “THE ALAMO” sits beneath it, and “1 OUNCE” over “.999 FINE SILVER” closes the design along the bottom rim, with a small dot before the fineness. The curved parapet tells you which Alamo the engraver drew: the U.S. Army added it in 1850. The reverse therefore shows the church as it appears today, not as it stood during the 1836 siege or at annexation in 1845. Pairing an 1845 obverse with a post-1850 Alamo marks the round as a general expression of Texas pride rather than a strict period commemorative.
The lettering also mixes typefaces. “GOD BLESS TEXAS,” “MADE IN TEXAS,” “1 OUNCE,” and “.999 FINE SILVER” are set in a flared serif face. “1845” and “THE ALAMO” use a plain sans-serif face. Both sides carry a raised inner border ring set inside a broad, flat rim.
Another Alamo façade appears on the obverse of the 1987 State of Texas 1 oz Silver Round (ACM). That rendering is built into a heraldic composition, while this round presents the building as a standalone architectural portrait.
God Bless Texas Silver Round Attribution
No dated examples, catalog listings, original packaging, or sales literature have been located for the God Bless Texas Silver Round. Neither side carries a mint mark or a manufacturer’s name. “MADE IN TEXAS” states where the round was produced but does not identify who produced it, and no other struck element points to a specific mint, issuer, or distributor. Manufacturer/Mint, Issuer, and Distributor are recorded as unknown.
Year of issue is also unknown, and no year is attributed. No documented event ties production to a specific period. Examples have turned up on the secondary market in brilliant uncirculated condition, including a recent eBay listing with buyer feedback from within the past six months, and a WorthPoint record carries the same “God Bless Texas / The Alamo / Made in Texas” description. Those listings show the design has circulated at retail in recent years, but they do not establish when it was first struck.
God Bless Texas Silver Round Notes
- The round is undated; “1845” is a commemorative design date marking Texas annexation.
- Neither side has a mint mark. “MADE IN TEXAS” is a statement of origin, not a manufacturer identification.
- The reverse Alamo includes the curved parapet added in 1850, so it depicts the church’s present-day appearance.
- The serif/sans-serif lettering split is useful for comparing examples: any legend in a different typeface would point to a separate die.
- A 1 oz copper round sold as “Texas 1845 – The Alamo” appears on eBay. Whether it shares either die with this silver round has not been confirmed.
