Austin, TX- Republic of Texas $50 Navy Warrant
<B>Austin, TX- Republic of Texas Fifth Issue of Warrants</B></I> $50 April 23, 1841 Cr. AW4, Medlar 46, Olson 828<BR> These certificates were actually used for the second Texian Navy after the first had lost all four of its ships by 1837 due to war and Mother Nature. Commodore Edwin Moore was the chief officer of the navy. He and Sam Houston had different naval policies which led to the necessary use of these certificates to pay the men of the Texian Navy. This example has nice margins, and the embossing is amazing on a 166-year old note. Endorsed on back by R. Giles, Boatswain in the Navy Yard. <B>Choice Crisp 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>)
