California Gold has its share of oddities; see more in the "Custom Sets" section under "Thematic and Topical" coins.

Just acquired this 1882 California Gold token. It is the "Heron" obverse and "date in wreath" reverse. These types are fairly scarce and are almost always holed. This small token now joins my "Cal Gold" collection along-side the "Cherub" token that I described recently in a journal. Thanks for looking.
