Texas Rangers – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round
Inspired by the Historic Coin-Cut Ranger Badges of the Frontier
A Badge Forged from Frontier Tradition.
Few law enforcement organizations in American history carry the legendary reputation of the Texas Rangers. This beautifully detailed copper round from Intaglio Mint pays tribute to the fearless frontier lawmen who helped bring order to the vast and often dangerous Texas frontier.
The obverse features the iconic Mexican coat of arms, depicting an eagle perched upon a cactus devouring a serpent, encircled by the inscription “ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS.” This imagery reflects the early historical period of Texas, when Mexican currency circulated widely throughout the region and played an unexpected role in the creation of one of the most famous law enforcement badges in American history.
In the late 19th century, many Texas Ranger badges were handcrafted from Mexican silver coins, particularly Mexican pesos. Rangers were often responsible for supplying their own equipment, and local jewelers would cut a five-point star directly from the center of the coin, leaving the outer ring intact. The star would then be mounted within the coin’s ring to form the distinctive badge. Because of this process, the finished badge frequently retained portions of the original coin’s lettering and design. These coin-cut badges became legendary symbols of frontier justice and remain among the most recognizable law enforcement badges ever created.
The reverse of this round proudly displays the Texas Ranger star badge, faithfully inspired by those historic coin-cut badges. Encircled by the bold inscription “TEXAS RANGERS,” the design features the classic five-point star along with the hallmark “ONE AVDP OUNCE .999 COPPER – CO. A.” The surrounding wreath elements echo the enduring symbolism of Texas and the Lone Star State’s storied law enforcement tradition.
Struck in one avoirdupois ounce of .999 fine copper, this round captures the rugged character of the Texas Rangers with deep intaglio detail and warm copper luster, making it a striking tribute to one of the most legendary forces of the American frontier.
