| Reverse description | A finely detailed forward-facing portrait of President John F. Kennedy dominates the central field, depicting him in suit and tie with his characteristic swept hair. The quote 'ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE' is inscribed in the left field. The name 'JOHN F. KENNEDY' arcs along the upper periphery, while the birth and centenary dates '1917-2017' appear along the lower periphery, commemorating the centennial of his birth. |

| Additional information |
This coin was issued to mark the centennial of Kennedy's birth in 1917. Niue has operated a prolific bullion and commemorative program since the 1990s, licensing its sovereignty to private minting arrangements — in this case almost certainly struck by the New Zealand Mint on contract. The .999 fine, 31.1g specification places it squarely in the one-troy-ounce bullion category, though it circulates entirely as a collectible; Niue's actual GDP would not sustain a $100 face value in domestic commerce.
