Indian peace treaty coin???

I don't know why, but something about the engraving on the back of this coin doesn't look right?
Is it the font/style, or something else? That the engraving is too sharp and unworn?

I'm trying to figure out why my gut tells me this is fake and a fanciful tale.

Experts....is there even such a thing as a peace treaty coin like this?

It looks all wrong to me too. Even if it were authentic it would be much too
easy to fake and this applies to anything which is engraved after minting.

I do not recognize the underlying medal but I'm not very familiar with the
old ones like this. If it's real and the "story" is true then this may have some
value even if it were known to be of recent manufacture. This is one best
left to the experts.

I don't have the reference books for French coins from the 1700s, but this looks like a French Franc that has been planed and re-engraved like a love token. This item looks like it could be no older than the mid 19th century, and it could have been made for some sort of fraternal organization.
