California State Fractional Gold Tokens were issued during the Gold Rush era in 1849. These tokens were not official currency but were created to facilitate transactions in the absence of adequate coinage. Typically made from gold or gold-plated materials, they come in various denominations, often representing a fraction of a dollar. Collectors value these tokens for their historical significance and as commemorative items reflective of the period's economic and social conditions. The provenance and condition of each token significantly influence its market value.
