Can't find much info on this particular coin. Can anyone give a bit of information for me? One site said it was rated '58' out of 100 on rarity. Thanks!!

It is one of a series of historic French coin copies.

It's not a "token", it's a "replica". One side copies a French coin from 1529, the other side gives facts about what is being replicated.

As retiredkper said, it is item number 15 from a set of replicas, which were presumably sold as a set.

As for value, not much (maybe a couple of dollars). There is very little collector demand for such replicas. The sets are usually sold to tourists at historic sites, or perhaps mass-marketed to non-collectors through advertisements in magazines etc.
