So-Called Dollars are a category of commemorative medals and tokens that were issued primarily in the United States between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often in connection with events, anniversaries, or exhibitions. The term originates from the 19th-century practice of issuing these pieces to honor important occurrences, akin to dollar coins but lacking official currency status. The Hibler and Kappen reference pertains to a catalog that identifies and details these pieces, including the significance of the year 1888, when notable examples were produced. Due to their historical context and unique designs, So-Called Dollars have become sought-after collectibles among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
