2017 1 oz Silver JFK Solomon Islands NGC MS 70 FDOI First Day of Issue (JFK Signature Label Retro)

This commemorative coin is struck in .999 pure silver exclusively by the Royal Australian Mint to honor the act of courage, heroism, endurance, and leadership shown by Lieutenant John F. Kennedy in 1943 during WWII in the Pacific - the Solomon Islands.

During WWII, the Japanese controlled nearly the entire western Pacific, and they wanted to take what was left. This included the Solomons Islands, which were key to Australia and New Zealand. In 1943, the crew of Boat PT-109 commanded by Lieutenant Kennedy attempted to patrol the islands until a Japanese Destroyer rammed the boat, cutting it in half. A few men died in the incident, but it was only due to the heroic efforts of Kennedy that the crew was rescued later on. After that incident, J. Kennedy was awarded the Navy & Marine Corps Medal and this story became a significant part of his biography.The front side of the coin features the profile of John F. Kennedy and the reverse depicts the recognizable portrait of the Her Majesty Elizabeth II.
