The obverse features a heraldic composition derived from the reverse of the State Seal of Texas, centered on the Alamo façade above a segmented shield depicting a cannon, Vince’s Bridge, and flowing water. Surrounding the shield are the Six Flags over Texas, arranged behind a wreath of olive and live oak branches. Above the Alamo appears the inscription “REMEMBER THE ALAMO – GOLIAD”, with a Lone Star flanked by “TEXAS” and “SILVER” at the top. Below, the banner reads “TEXAS ONE AND INDIVISIBLE”, with the date 1987 and CCM mint mark beneath.

The reverse displays the obverse of the State Seal of Texas, consisting of a single five-pointed Lone Star encircled by olive and live oak branches, with the inscription “THE STATE OF TEXAS.” The lower legend reads “ONE TROY OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER.” Unique to the 1987 CCM Die: The reverse presents a formal, symmetrical decorative layout with seven acorns and four olives. The strike exhibits a proof-like appearance, with enhanced surface reflectivity compared to standard business strikes.

1987 State of Texas 1 oz Silver Round Overview

The 1987 State of Texas 1 oz Silver Round (CCM) is part of the Texas-themed bullion series marketed under the Official Texas Bullion program and produced by Colonial Coins (Houston, Texas). This variety is identified by the CCM mint mark and represents a 1987 production group within the series. The design incorporates Texas independence imagery derived from the State Seal of Texas, presented in a reversed orientation across the obverse and reverse.

How to Identify the 1987 State of Texas 1 oz Silver Round

The 1987 CCM variety is identified by the “CCM” mint mark located to the right of the central design and a distinct set of measurable die characteristics. A small star appears on each side of the date “1987.”

The Alamo façade displays ten total window openings plus the central doorway, consisting of four lower windows flanking the entrance, five windows across the middle level, and one small upper porthole-style opening centered above. The structure shows sharp architectural detail with clearly defined stonework and window framing.

The inscription “REMEMBER THE ALAMO – GOLIAD” appears above the Alamo and is sharply defined with clear, legible lettering. The word “GOLIAD” is partially truncated at the right edge, with the final letters cut off.

The Six Flags are rendered with strong detail. The French flag (left) shows distinct Fleur-de-lis elements. The Spanish flag displays a defined crown structure with a full line of jewels elements along the band. The Mexican flag shows clear interior design detail. There are only 4 stars visible in the Confederate Flag. The American flag (lower right) features distinct stars and separated stripes, rather than dot-style stars.

In the lower design, the cannon includes visible contour lines and definition, depicted in left-facing side profile with a tapered barrel, flared muzzle, and a spoked wheel field carriage with a defined central hub. The bridge shows structural support detail, and the river is deeply engraved with visible flowing lines.

The inscription “TEXAS ONE AND INDIVISIBLE” is sharply struck and fully legible.

1987 State of Texas 1 oz Silver Round Attribution and Notes:

Unique to the 1987 CCM Reverse Die: The reverse presents a formal, symmetrical decorative layout with seven acorns and four olives.

A separate 1987 die pairing exists carrying this same CCM mark alongside an additional struck P mark — see the 1987 State of Texas 1 oz Silver Round (CCM P). Whether this entry’s proof-like surface reflectivity reflects an early or proof-like strike from that same production run, or simply die freshness on an otherwise standard-strike example, is not resolved by current documentation.

When these characteristics are observed together with the CCM mint mark, the round was made by Colonial Coins, Houston Texas, within the State of Texas Rounds collection.

Proof-like surface noted on this die is distinct from the separately P-marked 1987 CCM P proof variety — relationship between the two is an open research question.
