California State Fractional Gold Tokens were issued in 1876 as a response to the need for small-denomination currency during the gold rush era. These tokens were often created by private minting companies and were not official currency, but they were used locally for transactions in areas where small change was scarce. The fractional tokens typically featured designs that celebrated California's gold mining heritage, and their collectible value can vary based on rarity, condition, and historical significance.
