So-Called Dollars are a category of medallions and tokens issued to commemorate a specific event, person, or place, often resembling the size and appearance of a U.S. silver dollar. The term "So-Called" originates from a book published by George W. S. Trietsch in the late 20th century cataloging these items. The 1957 So-Called Dollar is particularly notable as it was issued for the American Numismatic Association Convention in Chicago and features designs that celebrate numismatics. Collectors appreciate these pieces for their historical significance and artistic value, and they are often sought after in various grades.
