Some of them are referred to as tokens - but this is inaccurate. There really were gold tokens minted in California during the gold rush - but I&#039;ve never seen one like the pics you provided.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a gold half dollar with a design a tiny bit similar to the helmeted bust on your earrings - <a href="http://www.reisbord.com/images/BG%20435%20obv%20600dpi%20web.gif" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.reisbord.com/images/BG%20435%20obv%20600dpi%20web.gif" rel="nofollow">link</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps that is where this design of yours originated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
