Overview
The 1845 God Bless Texas 1 oz Silver Round privately issued 1 troy ounce .999 fine silver round featuring the Alamo on the obverse and a Texas longhorn motif on the reverse. The round bears the date 1845 and the inscription “GOD BLESS TEXAS.” No mint mark is present, and no issuing authority is identified on the piece.
Very little information exists on this round. It is typical of a Private Mint, low mintage issue from Texas during the 1980s, but nothing has been confirmed.
