Is this from Morroco?

1855 was the year of France's first International Exhibition.
The "Napoleon III Empereur" looks correct, but the "Empire France" should, as Spiral said, be "Empire Français".

This etching looks like an imitation of period coins (see attached)

Thanks all for the answers!

Oliver Pinchot,
Thank you for the details.

Blue lander,
Very nice dagger, too bad about the blade.

spiral,
I have no idea, but may be that was made for sale to others.

Emanuel,
Thanks for the coin photos.
