So-Called Dollars are a type of commemorative medal or numismatic item that typically bear designs similar to coins but are not intended for regular circulation. These items often commemorate significant events, people, or places in U.S. history. The Hibler-Kappen catalog specifically categorizes these tokens and medals, with "Hibler-Kappen" denoting the authors of this reference. The year 1861 marks a period of significant historical events in the United States, including the Civil War, which influenced the production of various commemorative pieces during that time. Collectors of So-Called Dollars value them for their artistic designs and historical significance, even if they are not technically coins.
