California State Fractional Gold Tokens are collectible coins that originated during the Gold Rush era, particularly in the late 19th century around 1880. These tokens were issued as a form of currency by private merchants and mining companies in California, primarily due to the scarcity of official coinage. They typically feature denominations that are fractions of a dollar, such as 1/4, 1/2, and 1/10 of a dollar, and are made from a variety of materials, including gold and other metals. Collectors value these tokens for their historical significance and connection to the California Gold Rush, as well as for their unique designs and rarity in the marketplace.
