Introducing the 5 Centigram State of Texas Commemorative Modern Redback. Containing pure 24k gold measured in centigrams, this commemorative bill blends premium materials with a highly detailed collectible-grade design.
Blending history, craftsmanship, and precious metal content, Modern Redbacks offer a distinctive way to hold a piece of Texas in a modern form.
Texas Modern Redbacks are a contemporary tribute to one of the most distinctive forms of early Texas currency, reimagined with enduring value through gold.
ObverseThe 5 centigram design prominently features a Texas longhorn, one of the most enduring symbols of the state’s heritage. The longhorn’s wide sweeping horns represent strength, resilience, and the independent spirit of Texas. Set against a richly detailed background, the artwork highlights the rugged beauty of the Texas landscape and the deep roots of ranching culture in the state’s history. The bold red and gold color palette reinforces the classic redback style, while intricate patterns and security-style elements give the note a refined, currency-inspired appearance.
Reverse
On the reverse, the signature red star motif pays homage to the original redbacks, tying this design back to the Republic of Texas era. Fine line detailing and balanced layout elements create a visually dynamic piece that stands out both as a display item and as a form of fractional gold ownership.
The original Texas “redbacks” were promissory notes issued by the Republic of Texas between 1839 and 1840.
Named for the red lone star featured on their reverse, these notes became a recognizable part of early Texas history, though they ultimately lost their value over time. The Modern Redback transforms that legacy. Each commemorative gold piece contains a precise and verifiable layer of 24-karat gold, deposited onto a durable polymer substrate. By incorporating intrinsic gold content, Modern Redbacks offer both historical significance and tangible value, bridging the gap between past and present.
