A new dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump in his iconic “fight, fight, fight” pose is among the first designs unveiled for America’s 250th birthday celebration next year, generating widespread attention among fans and collectors alike.
The commemorative coin shows Trump’s presidential profile on one side and an image of him raising his fist on the other. The design recalls the dramatic moment Trump, bloodied but defiant, raised his fist after surviving an assassination attempt during a reelection campaign stop in Butler, Pa., last year, a moment that quickly became a symbol of resilience for many supporters.
The coin is being developed under the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which authorizes the U.S. Mint to issue $1 coins celebrating the nation’s Semiquincentennial. The project—signed into law by Trump in 2021—aims to honor “250 years of American Liberty” through new designs reflecting the nation’s founding ideals.
Treasurer of the United States Brandon Beach confirmed the authenticity of the new coin, writing on X, “Looking forward to sharing more soon, once the obstructionist shutdown of the United States government is over.”
The Treasury Department is authorized to issue the commemorative coins between January 1 and December 31, 2026. The Mint began its official countdown to the Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2025, emphasizing that the new coinage would celebrate the country’s enduring principles, history, and heritage.
Officials said the redesign continues a “proud tradition” of marking major national milestones with special coinage and medals. Final designs are expected later this year.
Trump, who previously hosted the 2019 “Salute to America” celebration on the National Mall, is also planning a UFC fight on the White House grounds as part of the Semiquincentennial festivities—an event expected to blend patriotism, spectacle, and what supporters call the former president’s signature brand of American toughness.
