Cool coin. A couple things to ponder, the biggest question is was it ever faked to begin with? I'm not familiar with this one.

Nothing looks fake about that Jeton.

Here's a link to one giving precise measurements. How does yours compare?

Looks to be in pretty good condition compared to what I'm seeing online.

those Jetons were struck way past the date on the token, it could easily have been struck in the late 1800's and most likely was as it shows no wear and still appears to have luster.

Was this found, bought, etc. it is in really nice shape and does not look fake.

'Fake' may be a harsh word here. These jetons (there are several varieties with different dates) have been subject to numerous 'restrikes' from original dies (as well as reproduction dies) all the way through to modern times. Note that the auction website 'cgb.fr' listing that fyrffytr1 linked to is for an example in silver, and it only achieved a price of 30 euros ($36).

That same website previously listed a copper example like yours in terrific condition with an estimate of 14 euros ($17) but it only achieved 4 euros ($5). I would be sure that's a modern restrike:

If you Google 'tresor royal restrikes' you'll find numerous offerings, as well as some that are clearly restrikes but not described as such.
