So-Called Dollars refer to a unique category of commemorative tokens and medals that were issued for various events, exhibitions, or anniversaries, primarily in the United States from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The term arises from the fact that they are not official U.S. currency but often resemble dollar coins in size and design. The Hibler and Kappen reference pertains to a catalog of So-Called Dollars published by authors Hibler and Kappen, which details various types, their origins, and values. The specific reference to 1954 may indicate a particular issue from that year, often associated with centennial celebrations or other significant occasions. Many of these coins are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and artistic designs.
