| Additional information |
The Republic of Texas existed as an independent nation for just under ten years, from 1836 to 1846, and during that time issued no coinage of its own — its treasury was perpetually insolvent, relying on promissory notes that rapidly lost value. This 2020 issue is a modern fantasy piece with no historical monetary basis whatsoever.
