So-Called Dollars are a category of collectible tokens and medals that commemorate specific events, people, or places, often issued in connection with exhibitions or anniversaries. They are typically made of various metals and are sought after by numismatists for their historical significance and artistic design. The term originated from the 19th century and the name was popularized after the 1892 World's Columbian Exposition, though the 1896 So-Called Dollars include various pieces commemorating events such as the 1896 presidential election. These items often reflect American culture and history, making them collectible within the broader context of U.S. numismatics.
