There's no such coin. Washington is on the quarter, JFK is on the half dollar.

Interestingly enough, the quarter was the first denomination proposed for a JFK coin following the assassination, but it was felt that Washington's place on the quarter should remain secure. Because the half dollar was the only denomination that didn't carry a president's image (it had a portrait of Ben Franklin), the Mint decided to complete the so-called "presidential set" by putting JFK on that denomination instead.

Unfortunately, huge numbers halves were saved as mementos and many others were melted for their silver content because the Mint insisted on producing halves with a small amount of silver until 1970. The result was that the denomination effectively stopped circulating.
