Dont really know what it is or what it says

It looks like some type of an reelection coin for the candidate Napoleon III

 

[Mackaydon]

I believe it has to do with French history of 1852: Dec. 2 Pres. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte of France, the nephew of Napoleon I, was proclaimed Emperor Napoleon III. (The "II" was skipped in deference to the dead son of Napoleon I.) Earlier in the month, the French people had voted 7,800,000 to 250,000 for "the restoration of imperial dignity." Napoleon III became the first modern European dictator.

I kept trying to figure out what "frage" meant
Now I see it says suffrage

 

[Mackaydon]

Right, and the other word I believe is PROSPERITE for prosperity; as in "reelect Bonaparte for the prosperity of France".

what is the value on this type of coin?

 

[Mackaydon]

I seriously doubt it's a coin, but a token, though I have no idea of its value.
