California Fractional Gold coins were issued during the Gold Rush era, primarily between 1852 and 1856, to address the lack of small-denomination currency in California. These coins were often produced in values like one-dollar, five-dollar, and ten-dollar denominations, with the latter valued at ten dollars. They were typically minted by private companies rather than the U.S. government, with many striking occurring in places such as Philadelphia. The designs featured various motifs, reflecting the Gold Rush themes and the economic needs of the time.
