So-Called Dollars are a type of medal or token issued to commemorate specific events or individuals, often resembling the size and weight of U.S. silver dollars. The term "So-Called Dollars" originates from Eric P. Newman’s book, "So-Called Dollars," co-authored with William F. Hibler and Charles V. Kappen, published in the mid-20th century. The 1860 issue represents one of the significant early examples, produced to celebrate events such as the 1860 Republican National Convention. These collectibles are sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and unique designs.
