1854 - Coins

California Fractional Gold refers to a type of gold coinage produced in the mid-19th century, specifically around 1854, to address the scarcity of small denomination currency in California during the Gold Rush. These coins typically came in denominations such as 25 cents, 50 cents, and 1 dollar, and were minted by private companies rather than the U.S. government. The 50 cents pieces were particularly notable for their intricate designs and were often made from gold dust or nuggets. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance and the unique insights they provide into the economic conditions of the time.
