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, with the reverse identifying the manufacturer only as “MADE BY AMC” alongside the metal content. In the absence of a struck date, the collection is attributed to 1987 — the year American Medallion Corporation formally adopted that name after operating as Texas International Mint.
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 rounds are undated, and the reverse identifies the manufacturer as AMC rather than carrying a struck date. Attribution to 1987 reflects the year American Medallion Corporation formally adopted its AMC name, rather than any date, mint mark variance, or other internal evidence present on the rounds themselves. The collection is attributed to 1987 pending discovery of contemporary documentation establishing an exact release date.
