| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait bust of President John F. Kennedy, shown in a contemplative pose with his hand raised near his chin, rendered in high sculptural relief. The legend 'JOHN F. KENNEDY' arcs prominently across the upper field, while the inspirational quotation 'A MAN MAY DIE BUT AN IDEA LIVES ON' is inscribed in an arc through the central field. The centenary dates '1917-2017' appear in the exergue, commemorating the hundredth anniversary of Kennedy's birth.
