103390 | UNITED STATES & MEXICO. John Kennedy & Abraham Lincoln silver Medal.

103390  |  UNITED STATES & MEXICO. John F. Kennedy & Abraham Lincoln Silver Medal. Issued 1965 (43mm, 12h). By an unknown artist and of uncertain Mexican manufacture.

 

PALADIN DE LOS DERECHOS CIVILES / J. F. K., head of Kennedy facing slightly left // LIBERTADOR DE LOS ESCLAVOS / A. LINCOLN, facing head of Lincoln before billowing American flag; below, crossed hands holding up figures of the same man: to left, facing left upon his knees; to right, standing upright facing slightly left.

 

King K-65-4. PCGS MS-63. Extremely vibrant and brilliant, as well as being immensely blast white and argent. Seemingly a bit conservatively assessed as merely choice mint state. A scarce and impressive Mexican-produced medallic issue for two slain American presidents. Serially numbered 421.

 

Assassinated nearly a century apart, presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy have been linked in various other ways, from intriguing trivia such as both being succeeded by Johnsons (Andrew and Lyndon, respectively) and having secretaries with the other's surname, to more consequential aspects such as their concern for human rights. It is the latter point which is the focus of this commemorative medal issued in Mexico, which celebrates Lincoln as the great emancipator and Kennedy as the champion of civil rights.
