Texas' First Coin: Introduction of the Texas Lone Star!
By JL Gonzalez

Join Ana Gonzalez in this engaging TVC show as she presents: First Coin- The first coin of Texas!

Join me today as I present the life events of a Tejano who introduced to Texas, not only the first coin but the concepts of the Lone Star!

In 1818, after acquiring permission from the Spanish Governor of Texas, Antonio, at the age of 42, created the first coin that existed in Texas. On one side of the coin, de la Garza imprinted his initials "JAG" (José Antonio de la Garza) as well as the year it was minted (1818). On the other side, he fixed a drawing of one star – a "lone" star.

The importance of this event was not only the creation of the first coin of Texas but also the star symbol drawn in the currency. It is believed to have inspired the modern State of Texas logo, the "Lone Star."

✅ About Tejano Volunteer Company:

Our main goal here at TVC is to bring a state-wide, renewed awareness and interest to the Texas revolutionaries of our past. Those early Freedom Fighters, both Tejanos and Texians, men and women, fought for freedom and were part of that historical struggle that we remember as the Texas Revolution.

We're going to do this by telling their stories.

These heroes require recognition and respect, and the best way we can do that is to remember them by telling their stories. And then re-telling them.

We bring you all those stories of our heroes and events in an effort that these stories may someday become common knowledge to all Texans, young and old. So share these stories with your friends and family. Texas heroes are due that much.
