Fine arts panel urges Mint to make Trump gold coin 'as large as possible' [View all]
Source: MS Now
Members of a federal arts commission voted on Thursday to create a 24-carat commemorative gold coin featuring President Donald Trump — and to make it “as large as possible.”
The Commission of Fine Arts, a seven-person panel appointed by the president, passed a motion calling for the U.S. Treasury to manufacture the coin. The gold piece would feature Trump leaning over the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office on one side and a bald eagle on the other.
Trump personally reviewed and approved the proposed designs for the coins, Megan Sullivan, acting chief of the Office of Design Management at the U.S. Mint, told the panel.
The committee’s vice chairman, James McCrery II, the initial architect for Trump’s White House ballroom project, called for the motion to pass “with the strong encouragement that you make it as large as possible, all the way to three inches in diameter” — the biggest size the Mint has available.
