This striking commemorative set honors John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, issued shortly after his assassination in 1963. The designs feature powerful black-and-white portraits: Kennedy sailing, in a candid public moment, and delivering a speech at the podium. Denominations include 20 Dh, 25 Dh, and 50 Dh, printed with bilingual inscriptions (English and Arabic). Like many Fujeira issues of the 1960s, the set was produced primarily for the international philatelic market. A desirable topical issue for JFK, U.S. Presidents, and Trucial States collectors.
