California State Fractional Gold Tokens are collectible coins that were issued in the 19th century, primarily during the California Gold Rush. These tokens were created in response to the scarcity of small denomination coins and often featured unique designs reflecting local themes. The tokens come in various denominations and are composed of gold or metal alloys, and while they are not official U.S. currency, they are highly sought after by collectors. While some may date back to the 1945 period, many examples are much older, originating during the peak of gold mining activity in California. Their historical significance and limited mintage contribute to their appeal in the collectible coin market.
