Commemorating the hundredth birth anniversary of an iconic American President, these 1 oz 2017 John F. Kennedy Silver Proof Coins from the British Virgin Islands, struck by Pobjoy Mint, are now available at SD Bullion.
Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States of America. Interestingly, he edged out the incumbent Vice President, Richard Nixon, to grab the most powerful position in the world in 1960. However, he remained in office for less than three years as he fell victim to a tragic assassination that shook the country. He was born in the year 1917 – marking 2017 the hundredth year after his birth.
Each of these coins contains 1 troy ounce of 0.999 pure silver. Moreover, they carry a face value of $1 (USD), as the British Virgin Islands’ currency is the United States Dollar.
Paul Vincze’s depiction of John F. Kennedy is highlighted on the reverse sides of these coins. His left-profile portrayal radiates power and charm, as the President looks straight ahead into the distance.
Obverses of these coins carry the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a common feature among all other legal tender in the British Virgin Islands. The name of the issuing country ‘British Virgin Islands,’ the name of the reigning monarch ‘Queen Elizabeth II,’ and the year of issue ‘2017,’ is imprinted around the image of the Queen.
