The Texas State Capitol in Austin stands as a testament to the state’s rich history and ambition. The current building, completed in 1888, is actually the fourth structure to serve as the seat of Texas government. Its predecessor, built in 1853, was destroyed by fire in 1881, prompting the need for a new, grander edifice. The decision to construct a new capitol building coincided with Texas’s rapid growth and desire to showcase its importance within the United States.
On the obverse of 2024 Texas Mint State Capitol Gold Rounds, you will find two important symbols of the Great State of Texas. In the background, you’ll find the topographical, textured outline of the State of Texas. Superimposed over this is a smoothly-engraved Lone Star, a symbol that evolved during the Texas Revolution to represent the Republic.
The reverse of 2024 1 oz Texas Mint State Capitol Gold Rounds comes with a depiction of the outer façade of the modern capitol building. In the design, you can see the 16-foot tall statue of the Goddess of Liberty atop the rotunda and the south façade of the capitol building with the United States Flag and the Texas Flag flying above the southern entrance.
