1/2 oz U.S. Mint Commemorative Arts Gold Medal: product overview
American arts before the Eagle program
The American Arts Commemorative Series medallions were issued from 1980 through 1984 to honor American artists, writers and performers. The series included one-ounce and half-ounce gold formats. These are medals rather than circulating dollar-denominated coins, and a general offering does not promise a particular honoree.

What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
