2015 (Estimated) Republic of Texas Half Ounce Silver Round
Features the classic star-over-outline of the Republic of Texas design with surrounding inscription: ONE NATION UNDER ONE GOD & Republic of Texas. This design style appears transitional, sharing elements with later Republic of Texas bullion issues while retaining earlier typography and layout characteristics.
Displays a standing American buffalo with legends: CURRENCY OF THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT NATION, www.freelakotabank.com. Lower inscriptions include: TWENTY FIVE, HALF OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER, AOCS Approved • © RJG. The buffalo reverse is notable for its crossover ideological design connection to related liberty/private-currency themed bullion pieces of the period.

Half Ounce Silver Issue with Lakota Buffalo Reverse
Overview
The 2015 Republic of Texas Half Ounce Silver Round is an undocumented but evidence-supported issue within the broader Republic of Texas bullion series. This piece carries the familiar Republic of Texas star-over-Republic outline obverse paired with a distinctive buffalo reverse bearing the inscription “CURRENCY OF THE FREE AND INDEPENDENT NATION” and the web address www.freelakotabank.com.
The reverse also includes the attribution “AOCS Approved • © RJG”, linking the design to the same stylistic family of privately issued Republic of Texas bullion pieces seen in related dated and undated issues. Based on observed design progression and known series chronology, this half-ounce silver issue is presently cataloged as circa 2015 (estimated) pending primary-source confirmation. It closely matches a known 2015 with a different reverse.
