California Fractional Gold refers to a series of small denomination gold coins produced during the California Gold Rush, primarily between 1852 and the late 1800s. These coins were often minted by private companies and served as a means of currency in regions where official coinage was in short supply. The 50-cent pieces, specifically from the year 1854, are notable for their connection to the Philadelphia mint and their representation of early American numismatic history. Collectors highly value these coins due to their rarity and historical significance.
