| Additional information |
Côte d'Ivoire has no historical or constitutional connection to John F. Kennedy, and this piece belongs to a category of modern struck issues produced almost entirely for the collector market — licensed through the Monnaie de Paris or similar arrangement and bearing a nominal face value that bears no relationship to actual circulation. The 1,500 CFA franc denomination is a legal fiction; no one has ever spent one.
