This historic 1840 $1 banknote from the Republic of Texas is graded VF30 by PMG, with the catalog designation TXCRA1 and serial number 3959. Issued just five years before Texas joined the United States, this note is an important piece of early Texas history and a cornerstone for collectors of obsolete Southern currency.
The note features a bold layout with classic 19th-century typography and a central vignette. Printed by Draper, Toppan, Longacre & Co., it was part of the Texas redback series but denominated in dollars instead of the standard redback system — making it especially collectible.
Graded Very Fine 30, this example retains strong paper integrity, solid ink contrast, and minimal wear for the grade. A fantastic early American artifact and an essential addition for collectors of Texas currency or Republic-era numismatics.
