Commentary
Vivant Denon fut l’une des figures scientifiques et culturelles les plus importantes du Premier Empire. Ne pas manquer la fiche Wikipedia de ce personnage attachant http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivant_Denon .
Bien entendu, compte tenu de la suite de l’Histoire, que nous connaissons maintenant, ce malheureux jeton semble faire de l’humour noir.
Vivant Denon was one of the most important scientific and cultural figures of the First Empire. Don't miss the Wikipedia page on this endearing character http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivant_Denon . Of course, given the rest of history, which we now know, this unfortunate token seems to be a dark joke

Historical background
FIRST FRENCH EMPIRE. Napoléon Emperor bare head - Republican calendar
(18/05/1804-6/04/1814)
Napoleon proclaimed himself king of Italy on March 7, 1805 and appointed viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais, his son-in-law. Genoa is annexed to France on June 6. Napoleon I, from the camp of Boulogne, prepared an invasion of England during the spring and summer of 1805. The formation of the third coalition with Austria, England, Russia, Sweden and Naples on August 9 forces Bonaparte to leave Boulogne quickly; at the head of the Grande Armée, he went to the aid of Bavaria invaded by the Austrians. The capitulation of Ulm on October 20 opens the doors of Vienna which is invested on November 14. Meanwhile, the Franco-Spanish squadron was destroyed at Trafalgar by the English fleet commanded by Admiral Nelson who died during the battle. Napoleon won the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805 over the Austro-Russians. The Treaty of Pressburg gives Napoleon Venetia and Dalmatia.
