State of Texas Coins

2025 marks the inaugural release of official commemorative coins promoting the Texas Bullion Depository and celebrating the unique geography and history of Texas, featuring 1oz gold coins in proof and uncirculated (bullion) finishes and 1oz silver coins in uncirculated (bullion) finishes.

The Official Texas Bullion Depository Coins are commemorative rounds minted under the direction of the Texas Bullion Depository and produced to the highest standards.

Design, Iconography and Symbolism

Enduring Reverse

The reverse design will be the hallmark of all future releases — regardless of metal, size, or finish — and its classical elegance is intended to become as recognizable as any sovereign bullion coin in the world.

All State of Texas Coins feature a life-like rendering of the Texas Official Coat of Arms on their reverse. Originally adopted by the Republic of Texas in 1839, the coat of arms features the iconic five-pointed lone star surrounded by charges of live oak and olive branches, bound together by ribbon.

The lone star needs little explanation. Whether on our flag or in the dome of our capital building, it has been synonymous with Texas since its inception and reflects the pride and go-it-alone spirit that is still part of our way of life. And it is eponymous to our coinage — State of Texas Coins.

The live oak branch represents the safety, strength, and resilience of Texas. The olive branch represents abundance and peace.

Encircling the top rim is the inscription “THE STATE OF TEXAS.”

The coin’s year of issue, 2025, is split between the left and right sides of the rim.

Along the bottom rim, the State Motto “FRIENDSHIP” appears, echoing the meaning of the state’s name, derived from the Caddo word tejas. This tribute reinforces Texas’ heritage as a land of alliance, community, and camaraderie.

2025 Obverse

For 2025, the obverse centers on a detailed relief map of the State of Texas, capturing the peaks of the Davis Mountains in the west, the flat Llano Estacado in the panhandle, and the south where the contours flatten into the Coastal Plains and the barrier islands and bays of the Gulf Coast.

Encircling the central design appears the inscription “TEXAS BULLION DEPOSITORY 1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD,” with a lone star positioned below.

Subtly placed near the inner curve of the Texas outline is a privy mark combining the acronym TXBD (Texas Bullion Depository), positioned over the star and cannon from the Gonzales Battle Flag, the iconic “come and take it” flag flown at the first battle of the Texas Revolution.
