The 99.9 per cent silver coins are emblazoned with an image of Trump on the front – although appearing younger and with more hair.

One the back is an engraving of the White House – where Trump hopes to set up camp come January.

Around the iconic building is the classic American motto “In God We Trust”.

It comes after the former White House boss reeled in $300,000 by selling personalised bibles in a deal with country music singer Lee Greenwood.

Designed by the former president and produced in the US, those keen to get their hands on one of the coins will have to wait a few more days for the first drop on September 25.

Trump wrote on X today: “Hello everyone! I have something incredible to share today, as we are introducing the launch of our Official Trump Coins!

“The ONLY OFFICIAL coin designed by me—and proudly minted here in the U.S.A.

“The President Donald J. Trump First Edition Silver Medallion will be available starting Wednesday, 9/25/24, EXCLUSIVELY at  Sign up today!”

Speaking in a video posted to the platform while holding one of the coins, Trump dubbed them a “true sign of American greatness”.

“I’ve seen a lot of coins out there using my very beautiful face, I’m a very beautiful guy… but they are not the official coin,” he added.

“It’s more than just a collector’s item, it’s a testament to the resilience and strength of the American people, our American patriots that we love so much.”

Trump told his followers the coins commemorate his “fight for freedom” as he pushes to win the upcoming presidential election in November.

The website specifies that the medallions are not legal tender.

They come with a certificate of authenticity bearing Trump’s signature and are designed to be kept as collectable items.

Those who purchase one of the Trump coins will not be able to return them.

The former business mogul’s bibles went on sale earlier this year on Lee Greenwood’s website for $59.99, named God Bless the USA Bible after one of his songs.

Trump posted on his social network Truth Social over Easter this year: “Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again.

“As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible.”

His special coins follow the line of gold sneakers he announced in February this year.

The high-top lace-up shoes are completely gold with a US flag wrapped around the back and a custom ‘T’ emblazoned on the side.

The ex-president also has between $1 and $5million in cryptocurrency which he once dubbed a “scam”.

Meanwhile he owes over $100m in liabilities from three different lawsuits he’s lost – including to writer E Jean Carroll who alleges he sexually assaulted her.
