So-Called Dollars refer to a category of medals and tokens produced primarily in the United States that are often associated with significant events or commemorations. The term originated in the late 19th century, particularly around the time of the 1887 event in which various medals were minted to commemorate the centennial of George Washington's inauguration. Although they resemble dollar coins in size and appearance, So-Called Dollars are not official currency issued by the U.S. Mint. Collectors value them for their historical significance, rarity, and the creative artistry displayed in their designs. The 1887 So-Called Dollars often feature intricate imagery related to American history and culture, making them desirable among numismatists.
