Are there any Artemis II Robbins medallions?

I do not believe so.

I asked Red Wiseman if he and his crewmates had medallions made and he showed me a challenge coin that had the same design as their two-sided patch.

I have been trying to learn with what mission the Robbins ceased being produced. I know that at some point before the series ended (if indeed it has ended), the practice changed from flying struck medallions that were then etched with the dates post-flight, to flying ingots of silver or gold and only striking the medallions post-flight. But I do not know when that occurred.
