How To Buy A 'Trump Defeats COVID’ Commemorative Coin For $100
The White House Gift Shop, which has no affiliation with the White House, is selling a “President Donald J. Trump Defeats COVID” commemorative coin in its online gift shop.
The coin, which is available for preorder now, commemorates Trump’s battle with COVID-19 as he announced he would be leaving the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday evening.
The coin was designed by Anthony Giannini, who said on the White House Gift Shop website that it is the last within a series that details the presidents “ascendance over and defeat of the deadly COVID pandemic virus.
“When we heard the sad news of President Trump's positive COVID test, once again we had faith and prayed but we knew our President would find a way to Knockout COVID in early rounds of this battle,” Giannini said. “President Trump, as you know, is a fan of boxing, and the new design includes more than a hint of superhero qualities in history's most fascinating president.”
The coin is listed on the White House Gift Shop website without a photo but says it will feature “superhero motifs.” The website also says the coin will ship on Nov. 14, with 20% of the proceeds going to COVID-19 prevention and cancer research. The cost of the coin is $100, and the design of the coin has been “intentionally concealed until its release,” according to Giannini.
The White House Gift Shop made the coins available for preorder prior to Trump’s release from the hospital, USA Today reported. Trump was admitted to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday after testing positive for the virus,
In a tweet on Monday, Trump said about his COVID-19 diagnosis, “Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of COVID. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”
