This is a modern replica that unfortunately has little or no value, the fact there is a bear on the reverse also means it's very common.
A denomination is needed, post new question.

A 1852 California Token with an Indian on the front with 13 stars around it and a wreath with California Gold and a star in the middle is a 1/2 dollar gold piece; however, there are lots of fakes about. Take it to your local jeweler to test to see what type of gold ie 14k, 18k or 24k. Also, you can send the coin in for authenticity to PCGS, ANACS. Usually the coin should have a denomination such as 25c, 50c, or $1. They can also have 1/4 dollar, 1/2 dollar, or $1. 1852 13 Star Indian Head with California Gold and no denomination is a replica token.
sounds like a Caalifornia gold token 1849 Indian #4 with 11 stars. Bill Mackner

please answer the ?
There never was a gold half cent coin. Gold is too valuable for such small denominations. Even at the (comparatively) low price of gold back in 1852 a half-cent made of it would have been about the diameter of a pencil eraser.
The bear is a dead give away that it's a fake or modern replica and have no numismatic value. Also it may be gold plated or have a small amount of gold in it. Many pieces are back dated to the 1850's & 1860's. As to value I have seen groups of these ( 10 to 12) sell at auction for under $20.00.
