Issued in 2014 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the issuance of Kennedy Half Dollar.
The obverse of this coins shows a portrait of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the youngest-ever-elected president. United States Mint Chief Engraver Gilroy Roberts based this profile on a portrait prepared for Kennedy's presidential medal. Roberts created his original 1964 design shortly after Kennedy's assassination.
The design on the reverse is based on the Presidential Seal and was done by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Frank Gasparro. It consists of a heraldic eagle with a shield on its breast and holding a symbolic olive branch and bundle of 13 arrows. A ring of 50 stars surrounds the design which gives this coin the distinction of having more stars than any other U.S. coin ever produced for circulation.
I purchased this coin directly from the US Mint in 2014.
