This Proof Fine Gold collector’s coin carries a portrait of John F Kennedy, and also a Coat of Arms which was presented to the President on St. Patrick’s Day, 1961. Gifted by T.J. Kiernan, the then Ambassador of the Republic of Ireland on behalf of the Irish Government, this was the first time a foreign sovereign nation had made such a grant to an American President. The design of the Coat of Arms was an amended combination of the symbols historically associated with the Irish names of Kennedy and Fitzgerald, the President’s paternal and maternal lines.
