Description

The K-63A-1a catalog number indicates this is among the earliest entries in the comprehensive Kennedy memorial medal catalog, indicating it was one of the first memorial medals produced after the assassination. Silver Kennedy memorial medals from the earliest issuing period are particularly sought by collectors who prioritize the immediate response to the tragedy. The production of commemorative medals in America spans from colonial-era pieces struck in European workshops to modern issues produced with twenty-first century digital design technology and advanced minting equipment.
