So-Called Dollars are a type of commemorative medal or token that were produced primarily in the late 19th century, which celebrated significant events, anniversaries, or individuals, rather than being official currency. The term "So-Called Dollar" was coined due to their resemblance to a dollar coin in size. The 1876 So-Called Dollar specifically commemorates the centennial celebration of the United States and is often issued in various metals such as silver or brass. These pieces are popular among collectors for their historical significance and artistic designs, reflecting the culture and events of the time.
