Issued in 2014 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy Half Dollar, this special U.S. Mint release marked the first time the iconic Kennedy design was struck in gold. Containing 3/4 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, the coin was produced at the West Point Mint and bears the "W" mint mark.
The obverse features Gilroy Roberts' portrait of President John F. Kennedy, based on the original 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar design. The dual dates "1964-2014" commemorate 50 years since the coin's introduction following President Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
The reverse features Frank Gasparro's heraldic eagle design based on the Presidential Seal. An eagle with a shield on its breast holds an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, while inscriptions identify the coin's 3/4 oz weight and .9999 fine gold purity.
Struck with a Proof finish, the coin features highly polished fields that contrast with the frosted design elements, highlighting the details of this historic commemorative issue.
