Overview
The 2008 (estimated) Republic of Texas copper round , “Honest Money”, is a privately issued one-ounce .999 fine copper bullion piece associated with the broader Republic of Texas bullion ecosystem. The round features the later Republic of Texas territorial-outline and faceted Lone Star obverse paired with an organizational reverse promoting “Honest Money,” “Honest Courts,” and “Honest Governing.”
No dated specimens are currently confirmed. The estimated 2008 attribution is based on observed stylistic continuity between the 2003 and 2010 Republic of Texas bullion issues, including shared denomination systems, reverse typography characteristics, and the later Republic of Texas territorial-outline obverse design.

The reverse typography and layout retain characteristics resembling the 2003 Republic of Texas issue, while the obverse closely matches the later Republic of Texas territorial-outline design family.
