Texans’ fierce pride in their homeland stems from a blend of cultural independence, wide-open spaces, and a shared history of resilience. The state’s unique history as an independent republic before joining the Union imbues Texans with a sense of exceptionalism that manifests in everyday life across the state. This deep pride Texans have in their state is also evident in gold and silver bullion from the Great State of Texas.
In 2013, the Texas Mint introduced its first-ever silver round series. The Texas Mint launched its program with 1 Troy oz .9999 pure silver, besting the silver purity of several silver bullion coins. The collection originally focused on iconic symbols of Texas, with unique reverse designs and a shared obverse design showcasing the outline of the Great State of Texas and the Lone Star.
After a brief period issuing the rounds with the State Capitol Building on the reverse, the Texas Mint introduced a four-year Texas Revolution Series with reverse designs honoring the four major battles of the Texas Revolution.
In addition to its silver rounds series, the Texas Mint has a Texas Mint Gold Round available as well. The Texas Mint Gold Round celebrates the State Capitol with a design distinctly different from that of the silver round series, and the common obverse with the outline of Texas and the Lone Star. These 1 oz gold rounds are available with .9999 pure gold.
Another major offering from Texas Mint includes its bullion bars. The mint issues both silver and gold bullion bars with elegant designs. Like other forms of Texas bullion, these bullion bars feature images such as the interior dome of the Capitol Rotunda in Austin and the outline of the Great State of Texas.
In creating its range of gold and silver bullion products, the Texas Mint has tapped into the rich history and symbolism of the Lone Star State. This symbolism can be found on everyday objects throughout the state, from government buildings to sports franchises, decor, and clothing.
Texas historical emblems tell the story of a land defined by revolution and independent spirit. The Lone Star flag, adopted during the Republic era, continues to symbolize Texas’s standalone identity and former sovereignty. The Gonzales Cannon, marked with the defiant “Come and Take It” challenge, commemorates the first battle of the Texas Revolution when settlers refused to surrender their artillery to Mexican forces. Perhaps most sacred is the Alamo, the mission-turned-fortress where a small band of Texians held out against General Santa Anna’s army in 1836, creating a rallying cry and enduring symbol of sacrifice for liberty.
Texas’s diverse landscapes nurture an equally varied collection of iconic wildlife. The Bluebonnet, the state wildflower that transforms highway medians and rolling hills into seas of blue each spring, earned legal protection in 1901 and remains so beloved that families stage annual portraits amid the blooms. Longhorn cattle, once nearly extinct, represent the state’s ranching heritage and economic rebirth after the Civil War. Coyotes epitomize the state’s wilder side, adapting remarkably from remote ranchlands to suburban fringes while featuring prominently in both Native American and Western folklore.
