The U.S. Treasury unveiled a draft design for a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary of independence in 2026, showing Trump in profile on one side and raising a clenched fist on the other, though the final design has not yet been approved.
The front of the potential design showed Trump in profile with the word "liberty" above him and "1776-2026" below, according to images shared by Treasurer Brandon Beach on X and subsequently released by Treasury.
The other side of the coin showed Trump holding a raised clenched fist framed with the words "fight, fight, fight" - a reference to what he said immediately after surviving an assassination attempt last year - and a flag in the background.
Debate on design’s legality
"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," a Treasury spokesperson said in a statement.
