The new coin is in commemoration of the U.S.’s recent 250th birthday and will “honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism,” according to Bessent.
The front of the coin features the President’s face next to the words “In God we trust,” encircled with the word “liberty” and “1776-2026,” marking the 250 years between the country’s adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the present, according to renderings posted by Bessent. The back depicts the “Great Seal” of the U.S.—a bald eagle holding arrows in one talon and an olive branch in another—with the number “250” integrated into it.
The commemorative coin is just one of a slew of government programs, buildings, documents, and other items that the Trump Administration has emblazoned with the President’s name and image as Trump looks to leave his mark on the country.
Federal law prohibits U.S. currency featuring images of living people, stating that only “the portrait of a deceased individual may appear on United States currency and securities.”
The first draft design of what would become this new commemorative coin that was released by the Treasury last year featured Trump on both sides, showing him in profile on the front and raising his fist in front of an American flag on the back. But later iterations of the design, including one recommended by the Commission of Fine Arts in January and the slightly different final one Bessent shared on Wednesday, depict his image only on the front and not the reverse.
The efforts to feature Trump’s name and image on currency have faced criticism and pushback from lawmakers, however.
“The fact that Treasury officials have reportedly pursued this effort despite serious legal objections only raises more concerns about Treasury’s misplaced priorities and disregard for our current laws,” wrote Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon, and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.
“While monarchs put their faces on coins, America has never had and never will have a king,” Cortez said in a statement at the time.
“Congratulations, we’ve entered the end stages,” Massie wrote. “Eliminate the penny, plug the nickel, and make some commemorative gold coins nobody can afford. I feel sorry for the folks who will be sold worthless knockoffs of this by the usual grifters.”
