Description
Texas Ranger DPS Cinco Peso Ranger Badge.Polished silver, constructed from a Mexican 1947 or 1948 issue five peso coin which has been hammered slightly convex and voided to create the Texas "Lone Star" central motif. The badge is engraved on the obverse DEPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY / TEXAS RANGERS, the letters highlighted with black paint and enhanced with additional floral accents. The reverse still retains traces of the die struck 5 peso coin and features a hinged pin and barrel catch for mounting.
The Cinco Peso Texas Ranger Badge originated in the early 1900s, crafted from Mexican five-peso silver coins to ensure authenticity and durability. This tradition began as Rangers sought distinctive, high-quality badges, often handmade by jewelers or gunsmiths. The iconic design, featuring a star within a wheel, symbolizes law and order in Texas. Today, the Cinco Peso badge remains a revered symbol of the Texas Rangers, representing their storied history and commitment to justice.
Condition: Fine, displaying minimal use.
