The US Mint has begun producing a new $1 coin bearing US President Donald Trump’s face to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the Treasury Department said on Wednesday.

The final design for the commemorative coin, being released in the fall, was approved earlier this year by the US Commission of Fine Arts, whose members were appointed by Trump. But the finished product unveiled on Wednesday differs from that version in a few aspects, including that it is not made of gold but rather has a gold finish.

The coin is intended “to honour the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism”, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post on X. “Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nation dedicated to preserving freedom for all.”
