John F. Kennedy — America 250 Legacy

A coconut shell belongs to the story of John F. Kennedy's survival in World War II. After the sinking of PT-109 in 1943, he carved a rescue message into a shell that Solomon Islanders Biuku Gasa and Eroni Kumana carried to an Allied coastwatcher.

Their help contributed to the rescue of Kennedy and his surviving crew. The shell later became a treasured paperweight on his desk. This tribute remembers courage as a shared story—one shaped by resourcefulness, trust, and people whose names deserve to be remembered alongside a president's.

Part of our America 250 collection, this Liberty Art Note is collectible artwork printed on authentic U.S. currency, not an official government commemorative issue. A piece to collect, share, and spark conversation.

Each Liberty Note is individually signed by hand. Signature colors and the number of signatures vary by design, adding to the individual character of each piece.

Independent tribute artwork
Liberty is an independent art studio creating collectible artwork inspired by American history, sports, and culture. Our pieces are made one at a time in small batches. Tribute and fan artwork are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any depicted athlete, public figure, team, league, brand, or their representatives. They are independently created works of art, not officially licensed merchandise.

Art meets Americana. Printed on authentic U.S. currency, each Liberty Art Note celebrates the people, moments, and stories that shape American culture. Created to spark joy, stir memories, and inspire conversation—a meaningful addition to your collection or a memorable gift.

Artist's Finishing Touches: Most uncut sheets receive hand-painted accents at the artist's discretion. The placement, colors, and extent of these enhancements vary, making each finished sheet individually distinctive. Single Art Notes are not hand-painted.

Serial numbers and exact artwork placement vary.
