I realize that these aren't circulating coins such as the U.S. presidential golden dollars.
My husband comes from a family of coin and stamp collectors and he had a coin collection. His parents would give him gifts of bullion medallions and commemorative coins, and he kept his collection going until about 2015. Since his parents were avid readers, I'm surprised that they didn't give him any of these arts medals.
fleur, found this write up on the coins(well, one of them):
1981 US Gold (1/2 oz) American Arts Medals - Willa Cather - Author
American Arts Commemorative Series are a series of gold bullion medallions produced by the United States Mint from 1980 through 1984. They were sold in order to compete with the South African Krugerrand and other bullion coins. Like American gold coins which circulated until 1933, these medallions are struck in a .900 gold alloy. Issued over 5 years and featuring a diverse range of great American artists, these medallions come in two sizes: 1 troy ounce and 1/2 troy ounce. These unique medallions are becoming scarce as many have been melted since issue.
Medallion Design
Obverse: Portrait of author Willa Cather.
Reverse: Features a woman operating a field plow.
Not specie coins, but rather medals and/or bullion "coins".
