About the Modern Redbacks State of Texas Commemorative Modern Redbacks

The Gold Bills of Texas

The State of Texas Commemorative Modern Redbacks, also known simply as Texas Modern Redbacks, are a contemporary tribute to one of the most distinctive forms of early Texas currency, reimagined with enduring value through gold.

Modern Redbacks — 5cg, 20cg, 100cg

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 gold bill is a commemorative piece containing a precise and verifiable layer of 24-karat gold, deposited onto a durable polymer substrate. By incorporating intrinsic gold content, Modern Redbacks offer a combination of historical significance and tangible value, bridging the gap between past and present.

Blending history, craftsmanship, and precious metal content, Modern Redbacks offer a distinctive way to hold a piece of Texas in a modern form.

Iconic Texas Imagery

Issued in multiple weights, each gold bill features iconic Texas imagery, with designs that reflect the state’s history, culture, and identity.

Larger denominations highlight some of Texas’ most recognizable symbols, including the Alamo, while special editions may commemorate important milestones.
