California State Fractional Gold Tokens are a type of collectible coin issued around 1901, reflecting the historical significance of California during the Gold Rush era. These tokens were designed as small denominations of gold currency, often used in commerce during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their scarcity and historical context make them appealing to collectors interested in U.S. numismatics. The tokens are categorized as "fractional" because they represented a fraction of a dollar, often valued at 25 cents, 50 cents, or one dollar, despite having a gold content.
