| Additional information |
This is a fantasy piece — no such coin was ever authorized or struck by the Federal Republic of Germany. "Aureus Magnus Kennedy" issues circulated among a small trade in commemorative fantasies following John F. Kennedy's assassination in November 1963, produced by private minters exploiting the immediate demand for memorial items. The X# prefix in the reference confirms non-circulating, non-official status under the Krause fantasy and medal classification system.
