So Called Half Dollars are a category of commemorative medallions that were created primarily in the United States, often resembling the size and shape of a half dollar coin but lacking legal tender status. These tokens typically commemorate significant events or figures and feature detailed designs, incorporating artistic elements that reflect the occasion. The term "So-Called" arises from the fact that many of these pieces are not officially issued by the U.S. Mint, yet they hold value among collectors due to their historical significance and artistic merit. Heraldic Art Medals, like those produced in 1974, often showcase heraldic symbols and motifs, adding another layer of interest to the collectible market.
