AMC Mythological Legends Series Overview
The AMC Mythological Legends series collection is an attributed 1987 series of privately issued one-ounce .999 fine silver art rounds depicting figures and themes from mythology, folklore, and legend. The collection was issued by Robert E. Westfall, Inc. and manufactured by American Medallion Corporation (AMC) of Houston, Texas.
The rounds are undated and carry no mint mark, distinguishing them from both earlier Texas International Mint (TIM) issues and later AMC-marked products. Based on American Medallion Corporation’s documented branding transition and the absence of either mint mark, the collection is attributed to 1987, the company’s transitional year from Texas International Mint to American Medallion Corporation branding.
AMC Mythological Legends Series Designs
The collection presently consists of seven documented designs:
- Angel of the Gods
- Eros
- Hiawatha
- Mermaids of the Sea
- Vampire
- Voodoo
- Werewolf
An original collector album is known with spaces for exactly seven rounds, matching the seven documented designs and supporting the conclusion that the collection was originally marketed as a complete seven-round series.

AMC Mythological Legends Series Attribution
No dated examples, catalogs, or original sales literature have been located for the collection. The attribution to 1987 is based on American Medallion Corporation’s documented corporate transition from Texas International Mint (TIM) to American Medallion Corporation (AMC) branding. Earlier products carried the TIM mint mark, while later issues display the standardized AMC mint mark. The Mythological Legends rounds carry no mint mark, placing them most plausibly within this transitional period.
