Donald Trump appears on the obverse of the 2026 semiquincentennial dollar coin.
The coin’s obverse depicts President Donald Trump, while its reverse uses the Great Seal of the United States. The design was announced as part of the one-year coinage associated with the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The issue attracted attention because it depicts a living president. According to the coinage history, the dollar makes Trump the second U.S. president to appear on a coin during his lifetime, after Calvin Coolidge appeared on a 1926 commemorative coin for the United States Sesquicentennial.
George Washington is a common alternative answer because he is strongly associated with the Revolution and appears on other 2026 anniversary coin designs. He is not the president shown on this dollar’s obverse.
