| Obverse description | The obverse features the national arms of Paraguay at center: a five-pointed star surrounded by a radiant sunburst, flanked by a wreath of palm and olive branches tied at the base, all rendered in high relief with a mirror-like proof field. The date is split to either side of the lower field, with '19' at left and '74' at right, while the denomination '150 GUARANIES' is inscribed along the lower portion of the field. The circular legend 'REPUBLICA DEL PARAGUAY' curves along the upper rim, and the entire design is bordered by a raised bead or dentil border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold left-facing bust portrait of President John F. Kennedy, rendered in finely detailed relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The portrait captures Kennedy's characteristic swept hair and strong profile with considerable sculptural depth. The inscription '· JOHN F. KENNEDY ·' curves along the upper periphery of the coin, with individual letters spaced around the rim. The lower field is open, and the design is framed by a raised bead border consistent with the obverse. |

| Additional information |
Paraguay issued a wave of silver commemoratives through the early-to-mid 1970s under the Stroessner dictatorship, largely targeting the foreign collector market rather than domestic circulation. The Kennedy piece was part of that broader program — produced over a decade after the assassination, with no particular anniversary to anchor it.
