The term originated from the late 19th century and includes pieces that resemble dollar coins but are not legal tender. The 1896 So-Called Dollar, for example, is associated with the 1896 Democratic National Convention and features designs that reflect the political themes of that era. Collectors value these items for their historical significance, rarity, and unique artistic designs.
