Treasury releases draft images of proposed Trump $1 commemorative coin on Oct. 3, 2025
Treasury mints commemorative coin featuring sitting president
🏛️Government📚Historical Precedent
The Treasury published draft images on Oct. 3, 2025 of a proposed $1 coin for the 250th anniversary (1776–2026).
The draft obverse shows a side profile labeled with '1776–2026.' The draft reverse shows a raised fist and the words 'FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.'
The images are draft designs only. The Treasury said a final design has not been selected and the coin has not been minted.
The 2020 Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act authorizes $1 coins for the semiquincentennial but bars a head-and-shoulders portrait or a portrait of a living person on specified coin reverses.
Legal experts and news reports disagree whether the draft violates the statute because the obverse and reverse placement and the artistic treatment may fall outside the law's narrow wording.
Historical precedent is mixed: few commemoratives have depicted living individuals, but exceptions exist (including a 1926 Coolidge commemorative and other limited earlier examples).
