1991 San Antonio Texas Home of the Alamo Overview
The 1991 San Antonio Texas Home of the Alamo round is a one troy ounce .999 fine silver round issued by Royalty Coins of San Antonio, Texas, and struck by Silvertowne. Royalty Coins sat on the San Antonio River Walk three blocks from the Alamo, and the round puts both of those landmarks on silver alongside the state that claims them. It was sold over the shop’s own counter to Texas collectors and to the visitors walking between the river and the Alamo.
The obverse is San Antonio. The Alamo chapel, flag flying, stands at right, with trees along a curving band of the San Antonio River at left. The chapel is what remains of Mission San Antonio de Valero, founded by Spanish missionaries in 1718. In the winter of 1836, fewer than two hundred Texian defenders held the mission against the army of Antonio López de Santa Anna for thirteen days, until it fell on March 6, 1836. “Remember the Alamo” became the battle cry at San Jacinto six weeks later, where Texas won its independence. The river below is the River Walk, designed by architect Robert H. H. Hugman, with construction beginning in 1939. The legends read SAN ANTONIO TEXAS and HOME OF THE ALAMO.
The reverse answers to the state’s nickname. A large five-pointed star with radiating lines sits behind an outline of Texas, with a smaller star marking the capital at Austin. Texas has been the Lone Star State since its decade as an independent republic: the single star flew on the Republic of Texas flag from 1839 and carried over to the state flag after annexation in 1845. TEXAS arches above the map and THE LONE STAR STATE below, and a ring of stars borders the field. The fineness and weight, .999 FINE SILVER ONE TROY OUNCE, stand to the right of the map.
The round’s two sides span about a mile of downtown San Antonio, the Alamo, the River Walk, and the shop in between, backed by the star that came out of the Alamo’s defeat.
1991 Rejected Reverse Sample
The reverse took two attempts. Silvertowne’s first sample came back with a malformed Texas outline, squat with a distorted panhandle, and was rejected. On that sample, TEXAS runs along the right side, THE LONE STAR STATE along the left, and the fineness block sits low and left of the map. Only one example was struck before the die was re-cut. The corrected reverse, with TEXAS at top and the fineness to the right of the map, is the production design. The obverse sample was approved as struck and is identical to the production obverse. Royalty Coins retains both samples.
