Tourist shop tokens, replicating the fractional coins issued in California by goldsmiths to fill a need for coins to replace gold dust as a means of commerce. Gold rush occurred before California was a state, and it took some time fore the federal government to established a mint to convert the newly mined gold into currency. The real coins have a denomination. Even so, people do collect these as well.
