Ok, I've got my Fuld Patriotic Civil War Tokens guide out. There are multiple varieties of both the obverse and reverse. From what I can tell, this (the first one in the thread) would be described as Fuld 16/300, meaning dies catalogued as #'s 16 and 300 were used. With this die combination, the token has a rarity of R-3, meaning 501 to 2000 are estiimated to exist--R-1 is most common, R-10 is one of a kind--so what you've got is fairly common in terms of the dies used. I can't find anything about rotated dies, but I'd guess it's not that uncommon.
