Hello!! I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to see if anyone knows if this is fake or not? And if it is real to see what the value of it is. Thank you for your time and consideration!!!

Unfortunately it's fake. Common fractional fakes had an animal on the reverse for some reason. I had one myself when I first started collecting.

I'm guessing the bear is on that coin because of "California gold". It - the bear - is on the state's flag, and is the state animal.
