A federal arts commission on Thursday approved the final design for a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring President Donald Trump's image as part of celebrations for the United States' 250th birthday on July 4th.

The US Commission of Fine Arts voted without objection to approve the coin design. The commission's current members were appointed by Trump earlier this year.

The approval clears the way for the US Mint to begin production on the commemorative coin, though the size and denomination remain under discussion. The coin is intended to help mark the nation's semiquincentennial celebration.

Federal law typically prohibits living presidents from appearing on US currency. However, commemorative coins often operate under different guidelines than standard circulating currency.

The coin will be made of 24-karat gold, though specific details about its final specifications have not yet been finalized by the US Mint.
