The collection is comprised of artistic medals and other small relief sculptures that were collected within the Rinehart School of Sculpture. Many of the medals were created by artists through the auspices of the Society of Medallists, sometimes for the Society's annual edition.

The collection also includes pieces made by people affiliated with the Maryland Institute as alumni or faculty.

Medals commissioned by organizations or for specific events. These include contests, such as the Women's Civic League medallion by Perna Krick, as well as social/cultural events such as the Cornish Marquee commemoration by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
