| Reverse description | A decorative six-armed cross occupies the central field, its arms rendered in an ornate, flared style reminiscent of Gothic or heraldic design, with stylized lily or fleur-de-lis motifs filling the six angles between the arms. A central circular medallion bears the Roman numeral III denoting the denomination, while the figure 1000 appears at the base of the cross, referencing the silver fineness. The surrounding legend PRO PROSPERITATE MUNDI arcs across the upper field, and ARGENTEUS runs along the lower periphery, separated by small decorative stops. |

| Additional information |
No German federal commemorative issue by this name or description appears in any verifiable numismatic record, and the X# prefix indicates a Unusual Worldwide Coins listing — a category that has historically included privately minted fantasy pieces, medals sold as coins, and items with no legal tender status. The specifications here are consistent with a privately produced silver medal rather than an official Bundesrepublik issue.
Kennedy visited West Germany in June 1963, delivering his "Ich bin ein Berliner" address on the 26th. Whether this piece was struck to mark that visit or produced afterward as a souvenir item, its precise origin and issuer warrant verification before cataloging as a struck coin.
