The reverse, legend (as interpreted)
Honour (trodden underfoot)
Throne (turned upside down)
Fra-nce (divided)
Re\li/gi\on (cut into pieces)
Glory (defaced)
Fire (in each corner)
Daggers/murders (on every side)
And bloodshed all over.

A very thought provoking peice to the hatred between France and England long ago.

If the illustrated piece is yours, congratulations. That's a tricky token to get in really good condition.

Somebody else has actually said it isn't about the hatred of France by the English, but more of a warning to not let it happen in England... Which makes sense as it is smack bang in the middle of the French revolution!
