Interessante carrellata di varianti di questo gettone! Condivido di seguito anche il mio esemplare:

[Meleto]

Per questo gettone è inoltre, a mio avviso, evidente un intento parodico delle coeve monete in rame del Secondo Impero:

Al dritto:

NAPOLEON III EMPEREUR diventa NAPOLEON III LE MISERABLE

La data diventa il numero di prigionieri francesi fatti a Sedan

Al rovescio: 

EMPIRE FRANCAIS diventa VAMPIRE FRANCAIS

i fulmini tra gli artigli dell'aquila diventano ossa

La maestosa aquila imperiale diventa una civetta simbolo di malaugurio in questo caso
