<B>Austin, TX- Republic of Texas Naval Appropriation Warrant</B></I> $25 Apr. 23, 1841 Criswell AW3 Medlar 43<BR>Naval Appropriation 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 note is nicely embossed and fully framed. There are also no cut cancels. This note is usually found with three cut cancels. The endorsements on these always carry the seaman's job. In this case the seaman was a gunner. These warrants are always highly in demand. <B>About Uncirculated.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
