2000 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 The Alamo beneath the inscription: “A Nation Free Under GOD”. Additional inscriptions include: “Remember The Alamo”, date “2000”, “One R.T. Unit”, “One Troy oz. .999 Fine Silver”. The use of “R.T. Unit” reflects an alternative denomination system observed on several early Republic of Texas bullion issues.
“Remember The Alamo”
Overview
The 2000 Republic of Texas “Remember The Alamo” 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 an Alamo reverse carrying the denomination “One R.T. Unit.”
The issue belongs to the earliest currently observed Republic of Texas bullion family documented on The Texas Stacker and is notable for serialized edge numbering observed across multiple independently acquired specimens.
Serialized Edge Numbering
Observed examples display individually serialized edge numbering. Multiple independently acquired specimens have been documented with serial numbers ranging from low double-digit examples into the 1900+ range, indicating serialization was a standard production characteristic of the 2000 issue.
The relationship between the serial numbering system and total mintage remains unknown.
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 2000 issue belongs to an early Republic of Texas bullion family currently observed on dated examples from 1999–2000. Related pieces share:
- wreath-and-star obverse designs
- “R.T. Unit” denomination systems
- recurring hooked control symbols
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.
