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 4500 Guaraníes (John F. Kennedy) coin from Paraguay, made of Gold (.900) and weighing 31.90g, 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 rare for a country to feature a foreign leader on its currency. The coin was likely issued as a commemorative piece to honor Kennedy's legacy and international influence.
