At the center of the design element is the portrait of a woman. The right side features a sailing vessel of the Texian Navy. Republic of Texas Notes have the signature of the Treasury Secretary and the President of the Republic of Texas.

Reverse

The design that gave the $10 Republic of Texas Note its nickname, the redback, is found on the reverse of these paper notes. The De Zavala Star, or the Lone Star of the Republic, is found at the center of the design element. The images on this face are printed in red ink, but the ink originally used was of low quality and many of the notes now have an orangish hue rather than the original bright red.

History

Redbacks were introduced during the presidency of Mirabeau B. Lamar to fund the national debut of the Republic of Texas. His signature features on the lower-right field of the notes.
