TRUMP NATO SUMMIT CHALLENGE COINThis article describes the U.S. challenge coin issued for this week's NATO summit. It's not a "gold coin" or
"token" as the article states but a special type of medal called a "challenge coin" issued by military or government units to
commemorate a shared milestone or event. -Editor
The White House Communications Agency on Thursday released a coin commemorating President Trump's attendance at the July 2018 North Atlantic Treaty Alliance Summit in Brussels. The gold coin features NATO's emblem, a white compass on a blue background, against Belgium's flag. Images of the White House, Air Force One, and the globe are emblazoned on its flip-side. The token follows a similar coin being minted for Trump's historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore in June. The White House Communications Agency, a military unit that offers information and communications support to the administration, traditionally produces coins to mark presidential travel or visits. They are given to dignitaries, among others. To read the complete article, see:  Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
