So-Called Dollars are a type of exonumia, typically medals or tokens that were issued to commemorate significant events, people, or anniversaries. The term "So-Called" was popularized by the numismatic book "So-Called Dollars" by Harold S. Sutherland, published in the 1930s. The 1877 One Dollar So-Called Dollar reflects the era's sentiment, often celebrating achievements or historical moments in the United States. These pieces can vary in material, design, and historical context, making them popular among collectors interested in U.S. history and numismatics.
