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.
