Silver Coin JFK Commemorative 5 oz Silver 2024 Proof

The JFK Commemorative 5 oz Silver Coin 2024 Proof is a prestigious collector’s issue dedicated to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States and one of the most recognizable figures in 20th-century American history. The coin was struck from 5 ounces of pure .999 silver in Proof quality, with a worldwide mintage limited to just 999 pieces.

John F. Kennedy’s presidency was a symbol of modernity, courage, and faith in progress. His speeches and vision for the future left a lasting impact on the history of the United States, and the portrait by Gilroy Roberts, used on the American half dollar from 1964, became one of the most recognizable numismatic motifs. This issue features a contemporary interpretation of that image by Jody Clark.

The coin was issued under the authority of Ascension Island, carries a face value of 5 dollars, has a diameter of 65 mm, and a year of issue of 2024. The high-quality Proof finish highlights the precision of the relief and the contrast between the mirror-like background and the frosted design details, showcasing every element of the composition.

Obverse depicts an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons, symbolizing peace and readiness for defense respectively. The design is complemented by the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM”, while a small coat of arms of Ascension Island appears on the right side.

Reverse features a profile portrait of John F. Kennedy by Jody Clark, inspired by Gilroy Roberts’ 1964 design. Above the portrait is the inscription “LIBERTY”, while below are the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” and the year of issue 2024.
