So-Called Dollars are a category of commemorative medallions and coins that were typically produced to celebrate specific events, people, or anniversaries in American history. The term originated from the 19th-century pieces that resembled standard currency but were not intended for general circulation. The 1898 issues often reflect significant occurrences, such as the Spanish-American War or various cultural moments, and are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and unique designs. Coins in this category often carry denominations, with the One Dollar often representing the face value of the commemorative piece.
