| Additional information |
Issued in the wave of small-format fractional gold struck by central African nations in the early 2010s — largely for the collector and gift market rather than any domestic monetary function — this piece capitalizes on Kennedy's enduring commercial appeal five decades after Dallas. Burundi had no particular political or diplomatic connection to the Kennedy administration worth noting.
