So-Called Dollars refer to a category of commemorative medals and tokens often produced to commemorate specific events or figures, particularly in the United States. The term was popularized by Hibler and Kappen in their book "So-Called Dollars," which cataloged these items. The 1896 variety features designs commemorating events like the 1896 Trans-Mississippi Exposition. These tokens are often collected for their historical significance and artistic designs, despite not being official currency. Many remain unidentified or "unknown," highlighting the diversity and complexity within this collectible niche.
