The Government Of Texas

By: Handini

A couple lovely bills issued by the Government of Texas, Houston, TX, 1839. Almost all of these early Texan notes are cut cancelled and have to be handled with care.

While there are notes bearing Sam Houston's signature, it was his secretary which signed his hame on these notes. Oh January 5, 2011 however, a Republic of Texas note sold for $63,250 (found within the pages of an old book). It was an uncanceled note bearing his original signature and not his secretary's.
