The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Gilroy Roberts' iconic portrait of President John F. Kennedy faces left, capturing the youthful vigor and determination that defined his presidency. The word "LIBERTY" arcs above, while "IN GOD WE TRUST" appears to the left of the portrait. The dual date "1776-1976" marks the Bicentennial celebration, making this design instantly recognizable among Kennedy Half Dollars.
Reverse: Seth G. Huntington's special Bicentennial design replaces the traditional heraldic eagle with Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy. The building's stately facade is rendered in exquisite detail, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" arching above and "HALF DOLLAR" below. This commemorative reverse was used exclusively for the Bicentennial celebration, making 1976 coins uniquely distinctive in the Kennedy series.
