Nice pickups!
The Washington SilverPiece was produced/marketed by The Columbia Mint, a firm with an office in Washington, DC. It was a private operation, with no affiliation to the US Mint or other US Government entity.
As can be seen from the card in which the medal is embedded, the piece has a weight of one troy ounce of solid silver and was struck as a Proof.
The medal's selling price was $25 plus $1.00 shipping. The First Day Cover seen in the images was included - at no charge - as part of the package with each medal. A separate Display Wallet was available to house the medal and FDC; it was priced at $5.00 each. I'm not aware of any large-format pieces being made available - like the One Troy Pound Presidents Bicentennial medal available to match the one-ounce medal you previously posted.
No mintage figure other than "Limited" was published (that I'm aware).
