California State Fractional Gold Tokens are a type of collectible coin that emerged during the Gold Rush era in the mid-19th century. These tokens were often used as small currency substitutes, especially in areas where gold was plentiful but official coins were scarce. The 1909 version likely refers to a specific issuance year, with many of these tokens featuring designs that reflect regional pride or the California Gold Rush theme. They are made from brass or other alloys rather than gold, and their rarity and historical significance contribute to their value among collectors.
