If the E had been after the R, it could have been part of Regina, but that is not the case. The mint mark is also strange, in this period it should be a helmet in a heart.

I think this is the largest representation of the golden fleece I've seen on a numismatic item (though we will also see some silver coins in about 150 days featuring this emblem). For those who want to pursue the history of the chivalric order (including why we often see the fleece combined with two "briquets,"): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order...olden_Fleece As for Thionville, though today an out-of-the way place on the France-Luxembourg border, in historic times it was a strategic stronghold that endured sieges or battles in the Italian War (1558), the Thirty Years' War, the French Revolutionary Wars (1792), and also changed hands as a result of the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII.
