The U.S. Mint has received authorization to move forward with creating a special 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring President Donald Trump’s image, following approval from a federal arts panel on Thursday.
The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts gave their final stamp of approval on the coin’s design, which will be part of the celebration for America’s 250th birthday on July 4th. Commission members, who are known supporters of the Republican president, unanimously backed the proposal.
With this approval now secured, mint officials can begin the production process for the commemorative piece. However, important specifications including the coin’s physical dimensions and official denomination have yet to be finalized and remain under ongoing review.
The special coin represents part of the broader national celebration planned for the country’s semiquincentennial milestone, marking two and a half centuries since America’s founding.
