Each of the 1 oz US Mint Commemorative Arts Gold Medals offered in this product listing from JM Bullion comes inside of protective packaging. The US Commemorative Arts Gold Medal program included 10 designs in total issued on 1 oz gold and 1/2 oz gold medals.

JM Bullion cannot guarantee the particular design you receive with your purchase. When your payment has fully processed our warehouse team will select your medal at random based upon availability at that point in time. We cannot reserve or guarantee a particular obverse design.

On the obverse side of 1 oz US Mint Commemorative Arts Gold Medals is one of five different designs. The 1 oz series included images of painter Grand Wood (1980), author Mark Twain (1981), famed musician Louis Armstrong (1982), poet Robert Frost (1983), and actress Helen Hayes (1984). Each of these designs depicted a bust of the individual and had varying mintage figures. The 1984 Helen Hayes medal had a low mintage of just 35,000, while the 1980 Grant Wood and 1983 Robert Frost Gold Medals had mintage figures of 500,000.

The reverse face of US Mint Commemorative Arts Gold Medals features a design reflective of the individual on the obverse. For example, the 1984 1 oz US Commemorative Arts Louis Armstrong Gold Medal had his favored musical instrument, the trumpet, featured on the reverse with musical notes included.

Various designers worked with the US Mint on the production of the American Arts Commemorative Series. Among the notable artists were Frank Gasparro and John Mercanti, the 12^th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.
