Weighing 11.34 grams, it is composed of a copper-nickel clad over a copper core. With a total mintage of 33,456,449 pieces, this coin reflects a moderate production level, typical for circulating U.S. currency of that era. The Kennedy Half Dollar, first released in 1964 following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, features a profile of Kennedy on the obverse, while the reverse showcases the presidential seal. The coin symbolizes American history and is popular among collectors and numismatists due to its design and the historical significance associated with President Kennedy.
