Collectible coins encompass a variety of numismatic items, including legal tender coins, commemorative coins, and tokens. Tokens, which may not carry the same legal status as currency, often serve specific purposes, such as promoting businesses or events, and can be highly sought after by collectors. The California State Fractional Gold Tokens, minted in 1859, were designed as a form of currency during the gold rush era, often issued in small denominations to facilitate trade in areas where official coinage was scarce. Their historical significance and unique design contribute to their value among collectors of American numismatic history.
