Description: This is a 1/2 dollar fractional gold coin or token. My husband bought this at a coin show in the late 70s when he was very into coins (see all other listings happening by us). We followed others guidance to note that it weighs 0.69g and it is not magnetic to help the real gold question. On the web we learned the following cool info: A California Gold Token from 1858. These tokens were often used during the California Gold Rush era as a form of currency. This appears to be a California Fractional Gold Coin from the mid-19th century, likely used during the California Gold Rush. The “1/2” denomination indicates it was a half-dollar token. These coins were often minted privately and used as currency during that era. As with all the items, we will combine shipping if you find other coins great for your collection.
