Answer

Start off with the first answer and if you have a 2006 Red Book by R.S. Yeoman (coil bound is the best) than look in the table of contents and some info on those coins is there.

Answer

While the Red Book gives information about Commemorative Coins, it does not cover Commemorative Medallions -- you would need to look at a book about tokens and medals.

There is a group called the Orders And Medals Society of America. This is a group of collectors that collects medallions and are a wealth of knowledge and they may be able to help you. They also go by the acronym OMSA.
