2026 W 24K Gold Proof Semiquincentennial Donald J. Trump NGC PF70 UCAM Advance Releases Gaudioso Signed 1776 Freedom Label with Bonus 1776 Display Case

The 1776-2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $250 24K Gold Proof Coin holds a unique place in U.S. coinage as the first U.S. gold coin to feature a sitting president. Issued for America's 250th anniversary, this one-year-only Proof is struck at the West Point Mint from one troy ounce of .9999 fine, 24-karat gold.

To commemorate the nation's Semiquincentennial, the coin carries a $250 denomination. Introduced in 2026, the denomination is a direct nod to the number of years since America first declared independence. This figure exceeds the $100 face value that had previously been the highest denomination on a U.S. coin.

Coin Design

• Obverse — Created by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, the obverse was inspired by an official White House photograph taken by Daniel Torok.
• Reverse — Frank Gasparro's Presidential Seal design from the Kennedy Half Dollar appears on another U.S. coin denomination for the first time. It depicts a heraldic eagle holding an olive branch and arrows, with "250" added to the shield to mark America's 250th anniversary.

A Presidential First in Gold

The 1776-2026 Semiquincentennial President Donald J. Trump $250 24K Gold Proof Coin is the first U.S. gold coin to feature a sitting president. Although Calvin Coolidge was the first sitting president portrayed on a U.S. coin in 1926 and President Trump was portrayed on a $1 coin earlier in 2026, this is the first gold issue to portray the commander in chief while in office.

$250 Semiquincentennial Denomination

One-ounce U.S. Mint gold coins such as the American Gold Eagle and American Gold Buffalo traditionally carry a face value of $50.

The $250 denomination first appeared in 2026 on select coins as a nod to America's 250th anniversary. This is only the second U.S. Mint gold coin to have this face value.

Michael Gaudioso Signature

Featuring the exclusive 1776 Freedom Label hand-signed by U.S. Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso, engraver of the Type 2 American Silver Eagle.

Each coin also includes the custom 1776 Freedom Display Case created for select Semiquincentennial releases.
