A large star and a herd of cattle frame the lettering. The small views inside the word TEXAS range from buildings to agricultural and industrial scenes.
The Republic of Texas approved the Lone Star flag design in January 1839. Its single star outlasted the republic and became a familiar way to identify Texas on souvenirs like this one.
