Sam Houston – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round

The Spirit of the Lone Star Series

Leader. Statesman. Architect of Texas Independence.

Few figures loom larger in Texas history than Sam Houston, the legendary leader whose vision and determination helped secure the independence of the Lone Star State. This release in The Spirit of the Lone Star Series from Intaglio Mint honors the soldier, statesman, and hero whose leadership shaped the destiny of Texas.

The obverse features a striking portrait of Sam Houston, capturing the strong and resolute character of the man who commanded Texian forces during the Texas Revolution. Behind Houston appears imagery tied to the struggle for independence, including the historic Gonzales cannon and architectural elements reminiscent of the early missions of Texas. A Lone Star above the scene reinforces the enduring symbol of Texas freedom.

Sam Houston’s leadership culminated in the decisive Battle of San Jacinto in 1836, where Texian forces achieved a stunning victory that secured Texas’ independence from Mexico. Houston would later serve as the first elected President of the Republic of Texas, guiding the young nation during its formative years.

The reverse displays the bold series reverse design, centered on a striking Texas longhorn skull beneath the Lone Star, framed by olive and oak branches symbolizing strength, resilience, and enduring pride. The circular legend proudly declares “THE SPIRIT OF THE LONE STAR,” celebrating the people, history, and heritage of Texas.

Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, this beautifully sculpted round captures the legacy of one of Texas’ greatest leaders in warm copper tones and deep intaglio detail.

The Sam Houston release honors the man whose courage and leadership helped forge the Republic of Texas and whose legacy continues to shape the spirit of the Lone Star State.
