Comment

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), commonly referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician and journalist who served as the 35th president of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. He served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his presidency dealt with managing relations with the Soviet Union. A member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate prior to becoming president.

Interesting fact

The 150 Guaraníes (John F. Kennedy) coin from Paraguay, made of Silver (.999) and weighing 25g, is a non-circulating coin that was issued in 1974. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, on its obverse side. This is unusual because Kennedy had no direct connection to Paraguay, and it is not common for countries to feature foreign leaders on their currency. It is likely that the coin was issued as a way to honor Kennedy's legacy and to recognize his contributions to international relations and global diplomacy.
