What California Gold Token is this?

Bought this little stickpin earlier with this California Gold token on it. I know it isn't a real California gold coin but I know tokens were produced later on as souvenirs. Might anyone know which one this is? I can only find one other online that claims it's solid gold and made by Herman Kroll circa 1902 and as we can see mine is clearly not gold!

On line you can start with Mike Locke's California gold token index which lists both genuine gold charms and later mass produced plated material -- it hasn't been updated for a while and takes some trial & error to navigate (still easier than Burnie) but it's still the best first stop for Cal gold charms this side of a good library.
It looks like that could be a Burnie 10-6.......
