Regardless of debate on appropriateness of a sitting president getting their coin, and while in office.....
Can we all agree it's terrible obverse design??
Yes it is. Love the Reverse but do not like the Obverse. Should be a side portrait like Washington.
I really like the eagle and bell... it seems awkward to me with the off-centered layout. There's so much open field space it make it look like something's missing.

Good eye. Something is missing . The denomination and weight/fineness details are pending.

Is it a bannable offense? We'll find out. But in the meantime it will probably get the thread shut down. Nice going.
All this upheaval over a coin that very few will own because of the cost and that will ultimately just be lost in the crowd of all the other NCLT that the mint has been cranking out.

I wouldn't put that coin in my collection even if we used your money to purchase it. For the record the Iranian example is much nicer. SEMPR! and RGDS!

Do we really need a coin with the image of someone who looks like they are dealing with a serious case of constipation? Whoever proposed this should be fired immediately.

Just another reason to consider the Box of 20 concept for Modern Commems... that is if one is considering collecting them.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I'll never own this, and it's not because of the cost.

Fatter than that.
They should do
1776 mintage gold UNC
2026 mintage Proof gold
This is close to the lowest mintages and would sell out in five minutes.
I heard Trump say this will be the world’s first 25k gold coin. Nothing will ever be purer.
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
Safari would jump all over this coin. It has his idol on it.
gilt covered plastic?

I did a Google Books search for past issues of The Numistmatist. Here's their editorial in March 1926.

Awesome Coolidge post. "Political bootlickers" ...... hmmm
'“I think the president likes big things,” said James C. McCrery II, the vice chairman of the panel.'
I'm glad that I'm not a Freudian.
To me, the figure on the coin looks like the President in the movie Superman 2.
Ran your Iranian gold coin through ChatGPT...

Isn’t that the medal? It wouldn’t have a denomination on it
I wonder who drew that? It looks a little like Krazy Kat. Kinda Herrimanesque. I wonder if the horse was beaned with a brick by a mouse?
Who in the Federal government will tell Don NO? He will get it approved and minted, but you can count me out.
