So-Called Dollars are a category of commemorative medals and tokens that were issued primarily in the United States from the late 19th century onward, often celebrating significant events or anniversaries. The term is derived from their resemblance to U.S. dollar coins but typically does not have official currency status. The Hibler and Kappen reference pertains to a popular catalog that classifies and values these items. The year 1869 is significant as it marks the issuance of various medals and tokens commemorating historical events or figures, which are collected for their artistic value, historical context, and rarity.
