Calling all Fractional Gold Folks

Besides the 1849 D $5 gold piece discovered in my Late Father-in-laws estate, we came upon this fractional gold piece. I know NOTHING about fractional gold other than "what fractional gold is". So my questions for you experts is 1) is it real? , What exactly is this piece as I see there are many types listed 3) care to guess a Grade? 4) value? Thanks in advance for your info.

You are 1 for 2 in cool coin finds today.
Still a pretty good batting average!

They are usually brass but sometimes are gold plated. They are strictly a novelty item.

That's leads me to this:
It's a trinket
Test it and hope it's not plated.
There are lots of these on ebay.

Don't waste your time. They are brass.

Zero percent chance it is solid gold.

Darn, you beat me to it!
That's a nice one, but all others have said, put it with the wooden nickels.
