<B>Austin, TX- Republic of Texas Fifth Issue of Warrants</B></I> $25 April 23, 1841 Cr. AW3A, Medlar 44, Olson 822<BR> These next three Naval Appropriation Certificates easily explain their purpose on the face of each note (do governments actually do that at times?), reading "<I>The last Naval Appropriation being inadequate to satisfy the claims of the Officers, Sailors and Marines of the Texian Navy, the holder of this Certificate, or his Assignee, will be entitled to TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS upon its presentation at the Treasury, out of the first Appropriation made by Congress to meet said claims</B></I>." Men were given either a $25 or $50 certificate, and, upon redemption, would endorse the back with their name along with their rank or job. This particular example is endorsed by George Beatty, who served as an Engineer. <B>Extremely Fine-About Uncirculated</B></I>, CC.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
