So-Called Dollars are a category of collectible tokens and medals that were primarily created for commemorative purposes, often related to events, places, or institutions in the United States. The term is attributed to the numismatic reference work by Hibler and Kappen, which catalogs these pieces, including those minted around 1917. These items often resemble dollar coins in size and design but are not legal tender. The specific variety dubbed "Unknown" suggests issues that lack detailed historical documentation or provenance, adding to the intrigue and mystery for collectors.
