C. Bechtler coins refer to gold and silver coins minted by Christoph Bechtler in the early to mid-19th century in North Carolina. These coins were significant during the California Gold Rush, as they provided a reliable form of currency when standard U.S. coins were scarce in the region. The most notable issues include the $1 gold coins, which were stamped with the engraving of the Bechtler mintmark and had varying weights and purity levels. Collectors often seek these coins for their historical significance and rarity, as Bechtler coins are a testament to regional minting practices and the early American gold coinage landscape.
