Description President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to activist Charlie Kirk in a ceremony at the White House Rose Garden on October 14, 2025, which would have been Kirk’s 32nd birthday. Kirk was fatally shot on September 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University, and the award recognized his impact on youth activism. His widow, Erika Kirk, accepted the medal on his behalf, with Trump describing Kirk as a “fearless warrior for liberty” and an “American patriot of the deepest conviction”. This high relief challenge coin struck in an antique finish with colorful patriotic enamel depicts a 3D rendering of Charlie Kirk with fist raised, in front of a waving American Flag, on the obverse, with text detailing the dates of his life and the scripture quote: “Here I am Lord, Send Me.” The reverse shows the Presidential Medal of Freedom emblem with the date of issuance. Supporters of Charlie Kirk and his dedication to First Amendment Freedoms can proudly carry this coin in his memory, as a symbol of continued faith, and reminder that those who turn to violence cannot silence the rights of Americans to speak their mind. Each coin will measure 1.75 inch (44mm) in diameter.
