California State Fractional Gold Tokens were produced during the gold rush era, particularly in the 19th century, as a form of currency and collectible items. These tokens, often struck in various denominations, were typically made from gold and were intended to facilitate transactions in regions where small change was scarce. The 1881 series is especially noted for its unique designs and connection to California's rich history, making these tokens highly sought after by collectors of numismatics and Western Americana. Their rarity and historical significance contribute to their value in the collectible coin market.
