The coin — which is traditionally given to service members to commemorate achievements and milestones, according to The New York Times — appears to have bucked tradition in photographs first published by The Washington Post.
The U.S. motto, “E pluribus unum,” —”Out of many, one” in Latin — has been replaced with Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.” An eagle facing right with Trump’s signature below appears in lieu of the presidential seal. His name appears three times on the token, which is gold instead of silver and copper, the Washington Post reported.
The coin also features a gold-plated banner that reads “DONALD J. TRUMP.”
President Barack Obama’s and President George W. Bush’s coins were smaller and thinner, and featured the traditional presidential seal and a depiction of the White House, The New York Times said.
Trump “wanted to weigh in on” the design, an anonymous White House aide told the Washington Post, describing the coin as “very gold.”
Another anonymous White House aide told the paper that the coins may be handed out to donors and at campaign events, saying “they’re going to be used in ways that they haven’t been in the past.”

As soon as POTUS Trump leaves D.C. for Florida to spend Christmas with his Family, all this BS starts up.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence...

Is there a Latin translation for “Make America Great Again”?
How about “The POTUS with the Mostus”?

Never fear Kristina, when you get to be President, you can have some new coins with "Kristina Bravo, ex-Presstitute" stamped on it.
Cause, You know, it's like the "Presidential Coin" and stuff ...

Not a problem. "E Pluribus Unum" has been twisted, morphed, and bastardized to mean "all foreigners have an inalienable right to emigrate and be granted American citizenship".
Time to Make America Great Again — YES!

One suggestion: Fac Americae magna rursus. It's a little difficult to translate with 100 per cent accuracy as America is not a Latin word, but a modern cognate.

So? As if Obama embraced
"E Pluribus Unum", Evah!
And Obama didn't have the moxie to change the coin and put his mug on it.
