$100 Currency Notes

The $100 Currency Note from the Republic of Texas is notable for the rich symbolism that extends far beyond regional stories and for the geometric patterning that is a staple of the Texas printings. In the four corners of the note, the denomination is listed in the amount of $100, with the number on a geometric pattern. On the left hand side is a vignette of a coal train hauling goods to signify trade and industry; on the right hand side is another vignette of a ship sailing through choppy waters. In the center of the document at the top is a scene depicting a griffin guarding Liberty (or Minerva, depending on the reference) who is receiving a gold from Mercury/Hermes, the God of Commerce and Trade. Flanking this scene on each side is the Roman Numeral 'C' for one hundred. Centered beneath that is "The Republic of Texas" along with the denomination "One Hundred" spelled out. Beneath that is the Lone Star of Texas, which has the signature of the Treasury Secretary on the left and the signature of the President on the right.

These are beautiful documents that have withstood the rigors of history; they would make excellent art for framing and collecting as well as being a good value for procuring for future sale. We have a variety of notes at varying levels for your collection:
