Robert F. Kennedy
1998 Robert Kennedy special dollar coin
Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 - June 6, 1968) was the brother of John F. Kennedy, and appointed by the latter as Attorney General in his Cabinet. He worked closely with his brother during the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Closely associated in memory, the two brothers were not at all close as children. John was eight years older, and rarely spent time with Robert.
Robert Kennedy proved a staunch political operative on several of his brother's campaigns.
In 1968, Robert Kennedy ran for president. He had just won the California primary when he was shot shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968 by Sirhan B. Sirhan. He died the next day, on June 6, 1968. Like his brother's 1963 assassination, Kennedy's death has been plagued with questions. These questions have led various third parties to come up with theories and solutions to the crime.
In 1998, the United States Mint[?] released a special dollar coin that featured Kennedy on the obverse and the emblems of the United States Department of Justice and the United States Senate on the reverse.
