Trump launches $100 silver coin ahead of election
The medallion features Trump’s face on one side and the White House with the phrase “In God We Trust” on the reverse, symbolising patriotism and tradition designed to resonate with his supporters.
Former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump has announced the release of the ‘President Trump First Edition Silver Medallion,’ aimed at raising funds for his upcoming electoral campaign. The silver coin, priced at $100 and available on the RealTrumpCoins.com website, is minted from 99.9% fine silver. One side of the medallion features Trump’s face, while the reverse shows the White House and the phrase ‘In God We Trust.’
With the US presidential election approaching, Trump is exploring various ways to gather financial support. The silver medallion is his latest initiative to boost campaign donations. Trump has clarified that this is the “ONLY OFFICIAL coin” he has personally designed, distancing himself from numerous unofficial Trump-themed meme coins that have emerged in recent months.
Despite speculation that Trump might launch a cryptocurrency, this medallion is a traditional silver coin rather than a digital asset. Many of his supporters had anticipated a crypto launch following the introduction of the World Liberty Financial project, which included a governance token but lacked the typical features of a cryptocurrency.
