California State Fractional Gold Tokens are a type of collectible coin issued during the California Gold Rush era, specifically in 1875. These tokens often feature designs that represent the state and its burgeoning economy. They were typically minted in limited quantities and were used as a form of currency, standing in for gold coins that were scarce at the time. The term "fractional" refers to their smaller denominations, which made them accessible for everyday transactions. Due to their historical significance and rarity, these tokens are sought after by collectors of American numismatics.
