I'm hoping someone can help me identify a coin. I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything.

I have a Texas dollar coin stamped with "WNW" on both sides with no date. The front has a star with "Texas Dollar" written in it along with a flag. There are 5 other flags surrounding the star. The other side has the outline of Texas with "Mockingbird" and "Bluebonnet" in it.

It's gold color but I'm not sure if it's real gold.

I would appreciate any help...Thanks!

Hi!
The closest I could come up with is ebay item # 140766728092.
The only problem is, the colors different, and the date says 1980.
Could you take a picture so that we can see the coin?
Thanks!
Rest in Peace

both sides, please, plus the diameter of the coin and weight if possible. And a partridge in a pear tree. Just kidding - pix would help a lot.

It is a brass or bronze composition, gold does not corrode. It would have been created by a private minter, not the US Mint. What is the diameter?

The diameter is slightly over one and half inches. Thanks for the help.

I find it interesting that although Texas was its own separate republic at one point that it did not have its own currency. Or am I wrong?
