The U.S. Mint has begun producing a new $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s face to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the Treasury Department said Wednesday. The final design for the commemorative coin, being released in the fall, was approved earlier this year by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump.
Design and Features
The coin is intended to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all. The front of the coin features an image of Trump in a suit and tie and with a stern look on his face. Lettering on the top half of the coin’s arc spells ‘LIBERTY,’ with the dates 1776-2026 on the bottom half of the arc. The words ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ are in the middle.
The reverse side depicts the traditional image of the bald eagle in the Great Seal of the U.S., with ‘UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’ on the top half of the coin and the Latin phrase ‘E PLURIBUS UNUM,’ meaning ‘Out of many, one,’ on the shield emblazoned on the bird’s breast.
