So-Called Dollars refer to a category of numismatic items that are primarily commemorative medallions or tokens issued in the United States. Many of these were created for special events, fairs, or exhibitions, with the 1891 editions often celebrating the Centennial Exposition. Although they are not official U.S. currency, collectors prize them for their historical significance and artistic designs, particularly the versions that include the denomination "One Dollar." These items are emblematic of specific cultural moments, bridging the gap between currency and collectible art.
