US President Donald Trump is all set to feature on a gold coin to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, amid questions over the legality of the move.
The 24-karat gold coin, portraying Trump leaning on the Resolute desk with clenched fists, will be only the second time a living president has featured on a coin.
Earlier, Calvin Coolidge, the 30th US President had featured on a commemorative coin alongside George Washington that were minted in 1926 to celebrate 150 years of the US Independence.
The US Commission on Fine Arts, at its meeting on March 19, approved the design of the commemorative gold coin, which will be minted once the final dimensions are decided.
“As we approach our 250th birthday, we are thrilled to prepare coins that represent the enduring spirit of our country and democracy, and there is no profile more emblematic for the front of such coins than that of our serving President, Donald J. Trump,” US Treasurer Brandon Beach said in a statement to FOX Business.​US President Donald Trump is all set to feature on a gold coin to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, amid questions over the legality of the move.
