The Treasury Department has announced a proposal to mint a $1 coin featuring President Trump on both sides as part of next year’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Early sketches of the commemorative piece, released by officials, show the president in two distinct images.
One side depicts Trump in profile above the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” with the years 1776 and 2026.

The reverse shows him raising a clenched fist, echoing the iconic gesture he made after being shot at a 2024 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
One year ago today at 6:11 PM, God saved the life of President Donald Trump in Butler, PA.
The President looked death in the eye, raised his fist, and said “Fight, fight, fight.”
That is the spirit of America, and only a chapter in the greatest comeback in human history. pic.twitter.com/oAKR0Z3fsS

The words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” — the phrase Trump mouthed to supporters in the chaotic aftermath — circle the design.
U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed the authenticity of the draft in a post on the X platform.
“No fake news here. These first drafts honoring America’s 250th Birthday and @POTUS are real.”
“Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”

A Treasury spokesperson also confirmed plans for the commemorative coin.
“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 spokesperson said.
“While a final $1 dollar coin design has not yet been selected to commemorate the United States’ semiquincentennial, this first draft reflects well the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, even in the face of immense obstacles,” they added.
Congress approved bipartisan legislation in 2020, which Trump signed in the closing weeks of his presidency, granting the Treasury Secretary the authority to mint one-dollar coins in 2026.
Under the terms of the legislation, the designs must be “emblematic of the United States semiquincentennial.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt could not confirm whether Trump was aware of the proposal.
“I’m not sure if he’s seen it, but I’m sure he’ll love it,” she said.
