If I’m allowed to send in an idea for review, I have one you might consider. Since 1890, coin designs have been mandated to be at least 25-years old before changing. As you know, sometimes they aren’t allowed to finish out their 25 years. (example: Franklin Halves)
Why not let them finish out their term as an annual proof? You wouldn’t need to use a precious metal. Something like cupro-nickel would do. You could even out-source the mintmark, say an “O” for New Orleans or a “CC” for Carson City, put that on the coin to make it distinctive, for collectors.
