California State Fractional Gold Tokens were issued in 1848 during the California Gold Rush, serving as a means to facilitate trade in a time when official currency was scarce. These tokens were typically made of gold and featured various denominations, often corresponding to fractional values of the U.S. dollar. Their historical significance is tied to the rise of the gold mining industry and the influx of settlers in California. Many of these tokens are considered collectible due to their rarity and connection to a pivotal moment in American history.
