1857 - Coins

California Fractional Gold coins were minted in the mid-19th century, primarily from 1852 to 1856, in response to a shortage of small denomination currency during the California Gold Rush. These coins often took the form of gold pieces that represented fractional values of a dollar, such as 1/4, 1/2, and 1 full dollar. The 1857 issue specifically is notable for its association with private minters in California, as they were produced outside of the official U.S. Mint system. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance, rarity, and connection to the Gold Rush era, with the 1 One Dollar denomination being a common type among these fractional coins.
