Recognize Texas heritage with the 2026 1 oz Gold Proof State of Texas Lone Star Coin. Struck in .9999 fine gold with a proof finish, this piece highlights the history and identity of the Lone Star State through detailed and symbolic design. As the first gold coin program authorized by a U.S. state, this release marks a historic first for American numismatics.
The 1 oz Gold State of Texas Lone Star Commemorative Coin features a design that honors both Texas history and identity.
The obverse presents a graceful, stylized depiction of Lady Liberty, seated beside the Texas State Capitol. With elegant detail, Lady Liberty extends an arm outward, holding the Lone Star above the Capitol dome – symbolizing guidance, aspiration, and the enduring ideals of freedom. The architectural rendering of the Capitol anchors the design in Texas heritage, while the placement of the year 2026 below provides a balanced and refined finish.
The reverse displays the official Coat of Arms of Texas, a hallmark of the series. Centered by the Lone Star, symbolizing Texas independence, the design is encircled by live oak and olive branches, representing strength, resilience, peace, and prosperity. The inscriptions “THE STATE OF TEXAS” and “FRIENDSHIP” reinforce the commemorative coin’s connection to Texas heritage, with the state motto reflecting the enduring spirit and character of the people of Texas while ensuring a timeless, recognizable design.
