The proposal for a US commemorative coin featuring Trump has drawn.... many comments from the #Numismatic community - a few I have seen and elected not to share - I'd rather comment on coins which do exist or at least are definitely in production, rather than politics. But this article from this week's E-Sylum compares the proposal to the first living person commemorated on a coin.... in Ancient Rome, and the impact of that - And I do like ancient Roman coins. (Spoiler: it's NOT Caesar, though he definitely gets a mention): https://www.coinbooks.org/v28/esylum_v28n41.html#article25
