The State of Texas Commemorative Series is a groundbreaking, state-authorized initiative that offers Texans and collectors worldwide the opportunity to own official precious metal products issued by the State of Texas.
Established to help promote awareness of the Texas Bullion Depository—a state agency charged with providing a superior way for investors in Texas and from around the world to buy, store, and protect their precious metals assets—these products represent a historic milestone as the first commemorative coins-administered precious metals initiative in Texas history, offering gold and silver coins, precious metals bills, and natural storage options.
Created to advance the Depository’s mission while honoring Texas’ proud heritage, the series reflects the values that have long defined the Lone Star: independence, strength, resilience, and lasting prosperity. As the first state-sanctioned gold and silver products, the State of Texas Commemorative Series brings together tangible value, exceptional workmanship, and the spirit of Texas.
As Texans, we are proud of our independent spirit, rooted in the Texas Revolution and the state’s founding as a sovereign republic.
The State of Texas Commemorative Series continues that tradition by offering beautifully crafted gold and silver products that reflect both financial strength and state pride.
The series includes two complementary product lines:
Precision-crafted gold and silver commemorative coins featuring iconic Texas imagery and symbolism. While not legal tender, these official State of Texas products are designed to the highest standards and are an IRA-eligible investment.
Innovative gold bills that combine historical inspiration with modern design, crafted to celebrate timeless wealth preservation in a unique and visually striking form.
While these products are not legal tender, they are official State of Texas products, positioned at the intersection of collectibility, history, and tangible value based on their high purity and precious metals content.
The series debuted with a highly limited inaugural release in 2025, featuring both gold and silver commemorative coins, as well as the introduction of the Modern Redbacks. Issued in limited quantities, the first coins were struck in high-quality formats, further enhancing their rarity and appeal to collectors.
As for the releases in this series, the 2025 State of Texas Lone Stars established the beauty and symbolic foundation for what is to come.
The inaugural coin design presents a sculptural relief map of Texas, highlighting the state’s chosen landscapes from the mountains of West Texas to the Gulf Coast plains and bays, surrounding the signature inscription “TEXAS BULLION DEPOSITORY 1 OZ 9999 FINE GOLD.”
The reverse design, a motif across the series, features the Official Coat of Arms of Texas and all associated imagery, along with the inscriptions “THE STATE OF TEXAS” and the state motto “FRIENDSHIP.”

Designed to be a governor’s release, the 2026 design captures the enduring spirit of Texas through a masterfully sculpted Lady Liberty seated before the Texas State Capitol—a powerful symbol of strength, governance, and Texas independence. Rich in architectural detail, the design mirrors the structure of civic republic, while the Building of Liberty, riding the Lone Star above the Capitol dome, embodies the ideals of freedom, unity, and the enduring commitment to a vibrant Texas.
