Does anyone have info on this medal? Thanks.

I have an idea. Why don't you go on the Internet and type: Sudbury Canada Kennedy medal into the Google search engine?
One is also on Ebay for $20.

Looks like a Canadian encased USD half dollar. Very interesting and unusual.

I think the OP wants you to do that for him.

I don't think that this is an encased coin. IIRC, it is all one solid piece.

If the OP had any ambition, yes, he could have figured this one out easily.

Yes, that is not a U.S. half...that is a likeness coined on a large planchet....Cheers, RickO

Very interesting - I had initially thought it looked just a bit off...
