"As we approach our 250th birthday, we are thrilled to prepare coins that represent the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, and there is no profile more emblematic for the front of such coins than that of our serving President, Donald J Trump."
"Federal law says no living president can appear on US currency. But Megan Sullivan, the acting chief of the office of design management at the Mint, said the treasury secretary has authority to authorize the minting and issuance of certain coins."
"The front of the coin features an image of Trump in a suit and tie with a stern look on his face. His fists rest on top of what is supposed to be a desk as he leans forward. Lettering on the top half of the coin spells Liberty in a slight arc."
The US Commission of Fine Arts unanimously approved a final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing President Donald Trump's image to celebrate America's 250th birthday on July 4, 2026. The coin features Trump in a suit at a desk with a stern expression, flanked by the dates 1776 and 2026, with Liberty, In God We Trust, and stars on the front. The reverse displays a bald eagle with United States of America and E Pluribus Unum. Although federal law prohibits living presidents from appearing on US currency, the treasury secretary has authority to authorize commemorative coins. Trump approved the design, and the US Mint can now begin production, though the coin's size and denomination remain under discussion.
