Commentary

Ce jeton a certainement été frappé pour commémorer la naissance de leur fils Napoléon IV et distribué à la foule lors des réjouissances. Notons que ce jeton du format d’un quinaire ne porte pas de poinçon.
This token was certainly struck to commemorate the birth of their son Napoleon IV and distributed to the crowd during the celebrations. Note that this token, the size of a quinary, does not bear a hallmark.
