Packing a Punch

Trump Coins has produced commemoratives for the UFC Freedom 250 fight, which will take place on the White House South Lawn on June 14. Though the Trump family is promoting the coins, the Trump Organization (run by President Donald Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.) appears to only be licensing the president’s brand for the coins, not manufacturing or selling them. 

President Trump’s portrait appears on the obverse, with his name and the legend PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES framing the design. The reverse features the numerals 250. The Declaration of Independence’s header, as well as a portion of the American flag, is in the background. The years 1776-2026 appear below, and the inscription 250TH ANNIVERSARY is above. The medallions are available in 1- and 5-ounce silver, and ¹/₁₀ -ounce and 1-ounce gold versions. Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) has graded the commemoratives Proof-70 Ultra Cameo. Additionally, NGC encapsulated each medallion in an official holder with custom Freedom 250 artwork. The holders for the gold examples include President Trump’s signature and portraits of Trump and Dana White, the president and CEO of UFC. The commemoratives are listed as the only officially licensed Trump medallions, and Trump Coins cites President Trump as the designer.

Prices range from $250 for the 1-ounce silver example and $12,000 for the 1-ounce gold medallion.
