Who was bumped off the half dollar to make room for John F. Kennedy, in 1964? Explained

In 1964, when John F. Kennedy was featured on the half dollar coin, Benjamin Franklin was not the individual who was displaced to make room for Kennedy. While John Hancock, Patrick Henry, and Samuel Chase were all notable figures in American history, it was Franklin who did not appear on the half dollar coin. Benjamin Franklin actually never appeared on a U.S. half dollar coin. Instead, Franklin has been depicted on the $100 bill and on various commemorative coins, but he was not an individual displaced by Kennedy’s portrait on the half dollar.
