Aside from the ones with the privy mark. Do you think these will be in demand?

No I don't. My question is why are these medals and not coins?
From hence ye beauties undeceived, know one false step is ne'er retrieved
and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.
- Thomas Gray, 1747

My guess is that it hasn't been authorized by congress as a coin, so they had to release it as a medal.
