I have a similar token and I suppose the reverse is intended to be sarcastic.

That's cool. Also looks like it spent quite a while as a pocket piece

More on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Texas State Fair 1936 Token:

1936-FDR-Texas-Election

Obverse:
HEADS YOU WIN / LUCKY COIN / 1836 TEXAS CENTENNIAL 1936
John Nance Garner and Franklin D. Roosevelt profiles

Reverse:
TAILS YOU LOSE / 1936
Elephant rear end, the elephant represents the Republican Party.

Brass, 32mm, 10.70gm

This item was issued in conjunction with the Texas Centennial 1836-1936 and the Texas State Fair.
John Nance Garner of Texas was Roosevelt's vice-president in 1932 and 1936.
The shield and initials MPB PIU are labor unions which indicate that the token was made by the
Bastian Brothers Company of Rochester, NY, which was a union company.
MPB PIU are Metal Polisher Buffers Union and Platers International Union.

The Texas Centennial produced, among other things, a very pretty United States commemorative half dollar.
Gene Autry, the Western Singing Cowboy, filmed a movie at the State Fair.
