Republic of Texas Paper Notes & Stocks

Here are some more Texas Commemoratives.  These are paper notes, the Republic of Texas never actually had coinage, it was known as the 'Paper Republic'.

And lest you think there were no big spenders back then....

They printed 50 and 100 dollar notes too!

There were also certificates of stock in the10% consolidated fund, which had coupons on the bottom.

Definitely an interesting way to fund a country.

Tangible Texas History

We have a new website and a wonderful collection of Texas Memorabilia at http://texascommem.com/

Silver coins minted for several years only in the mid 1930's by the US Mint.  These 50 cent coins are scarce and very collectible, they commemorate the founding of the Republic of Texas in 1836.

Come see the images and read the history of the only US State that was once its own country!

In addition to the coins we have Authentic Republic of Texas Bank Notes, sometimes known as redbacks because the ink created a reddish image on the back.

This color is where the University of Texas got its school colors.

We also have some rare bank notes signed by Sam Houston himself as well as Mirabeau Lamar.

There are also Republic of Texas stock certificates.

If you pick up a Texas Monthly Magazine, the June issue, you will find a full page spread on page 92, but much more awaits at our website http://texascommem.com/

New Diamond Ring Inventory!

We have recently gotten in more diamond rings.  Some are engagement rings, some not, but all are absolutely fabulous!  The ring above comes with a GIA certificate for the center solitaire and an appraisal for the ring by a GIA graduate gemologist.

This soldered wedding set also has the GIA certificate and appraisal.  These solitaires are over 1 carat plus you have the accent diamonds.

This gorgeous diamond comes with its certificate and appraisal as well and this ring is not white gold but luxurious platinum!  Brilliant rounds and baguettes are the accent diamonds here.

This pretty band is also platinum and the diamonds are very nice, a lovely ring by any standard.

This incredible handcrafted ring is also platinum set with many diamonds, even the yellow stones are fancy canary yellow diamonds.  A one of a kind ring!

And this sparkling ring with 3 flowers of diamonds set in white gold would put a smile on any lady's face.
