Blake & Co. Assayers 1855 Twenty Dollar Coin - 20 Dollar Coin California 1855 Token

This listing is for a Blake & Co. Assayers 1855 Faux Twenty Dollar Coin. This token was created during the California Gold Rush due to their shortage of official currency; these were produced in private mints and used as a form of payment. The "20 DOLLS" inscription indicates the value, which was a significant amount for the period. Great find of a historical artifact about the California Gold Rush!
