California State Fractional Gold Tokens are collectible coins issued in the 19th century, specifically around 1876, during the California Gold Rush period. These tokens were produced in response to the scarcity of small change and the high value of gold. While they are often considered novel or commemorative items, they can vary significantly in terms of design, size, and gold content. The specific details and historical context behind these tokens contribute to their appeal among collectors. The "Unknown" designation typically indicates a lack of comprehensive cataloging or identification for some specific varieties of these tokens.
