US Treasury reveals draft design for one-dollar coin with Trump profile
(MENAFN) The US Treasury Department has unveiled a draft design for a one-dollar coin commemorating the 250th anniversary of American independence, which features President Donald Trump.
The proposed design shows Trump’s profile on one side, accompanied by the inscriptions “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and the dates 1776–2026. The reverse depicts Trump raising a clenched fist in front of the US flag, with the phrases “Fight, fight, fight,” “United States of America,” and “E pluribus unum.” The image pays tribute to a widely circulated photograph taken by AP’s Evan Vucci shortly after Trump survived an assassination attempt in July 2024.
A Treasury spokesperson said in a statement, “Despite the radical left’s forced shutdown of our government, the facts are clear: Under the historic leadership of President Donald J. Trump, our nation is entering its 250th anniversary stronger, more prosperous, and better than ever before.”
The draft design raises potential legal issues, as existing US law generally prohibits depictions of living individuals on currency. Additionally, the 2020 Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act, which authorized the minting of the anniversary coin, specifically forbids busts or portraits of people on the reverse side.
