Commentary
La propagande de Louis-Philippe chercha toujours à s’aider de l’image de l’Empereur. Ce jeton faisait probablement partie d’une boîte de jeu et il serait intéressant de voir si ce jeu avait été suscité par les services du roi. À noter, l’axe irrégulier et la fabrication laissent penser à une production étrangère, certainement allemande.

Note that the irregular axis and the manufacturing suggest foreign production, certainly German.
