The Treasury Department is considering minting a $1 coin bearing President Donald Trump’s likeness on both sides to honor him and commemorate the United States’ 250th birthday next year.
A first draft of that coin, which will mark the semiquincentennial anniversary of the nation’s founding, depicts Trump’s head in profile on one side, above the words “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the dates 1776 and 2026.
The other side of the coin shows a defiant-looking Trump raising his fist, closely matching the pose he struck moments after surviving an assassination attempt at a 2024 presidential campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
The words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT,” which Trump mouthed to his supporters right after that attack, appear around the edge of that side of the coin.
“No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real,” U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach wrote on X in response to a post touting sketches of the coin.
“Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over,” Beach wrote.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reposted Beach’s message from his own X account.
A Treasury spokesperson told CNBC that a final design for a $1 coin to commemorate the anniversary has not yet been selected.
