    Is it quarter, half or dollar sized ?
    No matter. I can't find a reference for an 1850 with 11 stars on the obverse.

    Can you narrow down what youre asking, @Zoins ? Bears are the subject of quite a few tokens in history. I assume you are talking about California pieces though.

    Do not know of their origin, but ebay seems to have many of them, most listed as copy or just low priced at $8 to $45 for many. Should be able to find something in their regards.
