Treasury shares draft of commemorative Trump coin for America 250 celebration
The Treasury Department on Friday shared draft images of a commemorative $1 coin bearing the image of President Trump to be circulated to mark 250 years since the country's founding.
U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach shared images of the draft coin on his X account. One side of the coin features a profile of Trump's face, the words "Liberty" and "In God We Trust," and the years 1776 and 2026.
The other side of the coin features an image of Trump in front of an American flag with his fist raised and the words "Fight, Fight, Fight," which Trump shouted after he was grazed by a bullet during a July 2024 campaign rally.
A Treasury Department spokesperson said a final design had not yet been chosen, but that the first draft "reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles. We look forward to sharing more soon."
Trump has for months touted that he will oversee celebrations next year to mark 250 years since the country's founding. Trump traveled to Iowa in July for an event that was billed as kickoff for the celebration. He has spoken about hosting an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House as part of the events next year.
