Produced at West Point from 1980 to 1984, the United States Mint issued a series of 1 Oz American Arts Commemorative Gold Medallions, honoring the nation’s most accomplished musicians, painters, authors, architects and actors.
Created to compete with the success of South African Gold Krugerrands, each medallion contains One Troy Ounce of Gold, mixed with copper for durability. The medallions were released alongside their Oz gold counterparts.
The obverse of each 1 Oz Commemorative Arts Gold Coin bears a portrait of the American artist celebrated that year. It is inscribed with the words HUMAN RIGHTS and ONE OUNCE FINE GOLD. For the first two years of issue, the medallions were not inscribed with their metal content or nation of origin, to differentiate them from federal coins.

The reverse of each medallion features a design related to the artist celebrated that year.

Cool coins that offer a very affordable way to obtain some gold. You get some collector value for a small premium over the spot price, and the coins are a lot more fun than boring bars."
