About American Arts Commemorative Series medallions in brief
The American Arts Commemorative Series Medallions were produced by the United States Mint from 1980 to 1984. They were sold to compete with the South African Krugerrand and other bullion coins. The series sold poorly, prompting critics to blame the involved process by which they were first marketed, and the fact that they were medallions rather than coins. Iowa representative Jim Leach proposed that the series feature designs honoring American artists. President Jimmy Carter signed the bill containing the authorizing legislation into law on November 10, 1978, despite objections from Treasury officials. Mintage ceased after the ten different medallion approved by Congress were produced. All were struck at the West Point Bullion Depository, and they were sold through mail order, telemarketing, and other methods until the end of the series in 1984.

The coin was not a suitable way to honor the individuals, as a large group on a coin was likely to remain unchanged for a long period of time.
