Answer:
The sentence is paradoxical.
Explanation:
A paradox is a figure of speech that talks about two contradictory facts present in the same sentence. It shows oppositions or negation of concepts in one sentence only.
In the given sentence, they cannot bring me tokens of myself. It can never mean that they can bring prizes of me, as the word token means prizes or achievements or gifts. Token stands for any item of appreciation like a memento or some rewards or cards and flowers but that item cannot be me or myself. Thus it is a paradox.
