🌟 California Gold Rush Treasure – 1849-Dated Gold Token 🌟
During the height of the California Gold Rush, privately struck gold tokens filled the gap when official U.S. coinage was scarce in the West. This tiny round gold piece, just 11.8mm in diameter, carries the date 1849—the year that symbolized the feverish rush for fortune in California.
Graded NGC MS64, it remains remarkably well-preserved for a piece that circulated in a rugged and chaotic era. Featuring classic designs like the Indian head and bear, these tokens embody the entrepreneurial spirit and history of the frontier.
📍 At Toliver James Rare Coins, we showcase coins and tokens that tell America’s story—one piece of gold and silver at a time.
