Do you know what something like this would cost?

It appears to be a jeton, not a medal. I'm not knowledgeable enough about them to say what they'd go for.

Yes, it is a Jeton. It is listed for sale on eBay right now and I am thinking about trying to get it for my father for a Christmas present. He is a Pharmacist so I think it would be right up his alley. I just wish I knew what these normally sell for before I do any bidding.

The old bromide "It's worth what someone will pay for it" applies with particular strength to this type of material.

Yes. Three things, in fact.

1) It is French.2) It is shaped like a stop sign.3) I like it. Always glad I can help.

It's out of my period but octagonal jetons of this sort from the Napoleonic era run from $15 to $150, with an average of about $40. This should be less in my opinion since it's from the time of Nap the Third, much higher mintages. I'd pay about $25-30 for the one you show depending on my interest.

I was able to pick it up for $35 so I am happy.
