California became a part of the United States in 1850. As a state, California could not mint coins. However, private companies struck their own gold coins, bearing their name and released them into circulation during the years from 1849 to 1855. Most had ceased minting operations by 1854 since the branch of the US Mint was in operation by that time. But Kellogg & Company still minted gold coins in 1854. The company was reorganized as Kellogg & Humbert late in 1854 and produced coins in 1855. I don't know that anyone knows how many coins were minted by these private companies but the coins are rather scarce and many command a very high price tag. The US Branch Mint at San Francisco was indeed minting gold coins in 1854 in the demoniations of $1, $2.50, $5, $10 and $20.
Coins were made with holes for several reasons, two of them being to save on the amount of metal used to make the coin, and to have a way to string all of your coins together for easier handling.
ALL coins in the U.S. have the word LIBERTY on them, and in 1795 ALL coins had a picture of Miss Liberty on the obverse side as well. Please post a new question indicating the coin's denomination.
The 1854S is the rarest of all Coronet $2.5 gold coins, In VF condition according to MArech 2009 Coin Values from Coin World it is worth $100,000.00. The 1854 ( Philadelphia ) no mint mark in VF is worth $225.00
Circulated examples are valued at $200.00-$400.00. Please check the back for any mintmarks, the 1854 Quarter Eagle is the only one that was struck at all 5 mints and mintmarked coins have higher values. I suggest having a dealer or collector evaluate the coin.

The Sydney Mint was established in 1854 as an outpost of the Royal Mint London, and started producing coins in 1854. The Sydney Mint closed in 1926.
U.S. coins would not carry a picture of the Queen of England. What was 1776 all about, after all???? You may be confusing the picture of Miss Liberty. Please post a new question with the coin's date.
Gold $1 coins were struck from 1849 to 1889.Those made from 1849 to mid-1854 carried a picture of Miss LibertyThe ones struck from mid-1854 to 1889 had a picture of a Native American princess.Modern "golden" $1 coins aren't really gold, they're brass. There are two separate sets:The Native American series (2000-present) has a stylized image of SacajaweaThe Presidential series (2007-present) has portraits of each president in the order they served. A new portrait is issued every 3 months.

Assuming no mint marks on either coin and both are circulated, retail values for the $1 dollar coin are $126.00 to $262.00 and for the $3 dollar coin 1854 is the first year of issue and values run from $360.00 to $920.00 but all values depend on the grade of the coins, all so $1 and $3 dollar gold coins are known to be used as jewelery pieces an this effects the values greatly. I suggest having the coins graded by a collector or dealer for a more accurate value.
To be technical about it, what she did was to be born as the heir to the English throne. The picture of the reigning monarch is shown on coins of all countries that are members of the British Commonwealth, which includes Canada.
