<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8211404, member: 116145"]Here's a new one for me (seller's pics) "Vampire De La France" satirical jeton dated 1870 from France in a PCGS details slab. Does anyone know anything about these? It was inexpensive, I love the design and I'm curious. My preliminary research leads me to believe it relates to the <b>Battle of Sedan</b> which was fought during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-Prussian_War" rel="nofollow">Franco-Prussian War</a> from 1 to 2 September 1870. Resulting in the capture of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_III_of_France" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_III_of_France" rel="nofollow">Emperor Napoleon III</a> and over a hundred thousand troops, it effectively decided the war in favour of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussia" rel="nofollow">Prussia</a> and its allies, though fighting continued under a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_National_Defense" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_of_National_Defense" rel="nofollow">new French government</a>.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1440720[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
