So-Called Dollars are a category of commemorative tokens and medals that often feature the dollar denomination but were not issued as legal tender.

In the United States, these items can feature significant historical figures, events, or anniversaries. The 1883 So-Called Dollar often references specific events, making them collectible among numismatists for their historical context and artistic design.
