The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing all of the Texian defenders. Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians, both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States, to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.

This Texas Centennial was designed by Pompeo Coppini to commemorate the centennial of Texas' independence, these coins were minted two years early. The Texas Centennial occurred in 1936, but Texas commemoratives were struck beginning in 1934 and continuing until 1938. The reverse is considered one of the most beautiful or one of the busiest designs of all American coins, depending on one's point of view.
