US EditionUS Mint can begin producing Trump commemorative gold coin after arts commission approves design
The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approved a 24-karat gold coin with Trump's image for the 250th anniversary; production size and mintage remain undecided.
- On Thursday, the Commission of Fine Arts approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring President Donald Trump to help celebrate America's 250th birthday on July 4.
- Although federal law prohibits living presidents on U.S. currency, Megan Sullivan, acting chief of the Mint's Office of Design Management, said the Treasury secretary holds authority to authorize certain commemorative coins.
- Noting Trump's fondness for 'big things,' commission members advocated for a 3-inch coin, while the Mint confirmed the design features the president leaning on a desk with 'LIBERTY' and dates 1776–2026 displayed.
- The Commission voted without objection, comprised of members appointed by Trump earlier this year, reflecting political alignment that streamlined the approval process and cleared the way for Mint production.
- Production will be a 'very limited production run,' though size and denomination remain undecided ahead of the coin's planned July 4, 2026 release for America's 250th anniversary celebration.
