Possible Luxemburg City Gate Token

[Kushi]

The attached token was offered for sale as a possible Luxemburg city gate token. Such tokens were sold as a type of tax to enter many central European cities from the sixteenth to early nineteenth centuries. To date I have never seen a report of such a token from Luxemburg. Copper, 20 millimeters diameter. T-S could be Thor-Sperre like similar Hamburg tokens. Any ideas?

They don't speak German in the city of Luxembourg. The social top and the civil servants speak French, the social bottom Letzebuergesch. Google translate doesn't have Lëtzebuergesch. The translation for the German Tor may start with T (or a D), but the equivalent in Lëtzebuergesch of Sperre is anyone's guess.

I found there were three gates in the fortifications.

Quote:
....This wall had two gates, the Eicher Gate on the left bank of the river and the Siechen Gate on the right bank. Vauban built them as defensive works, not merely ornamental gatehouses....
...Halfway along this wall was the Grünewald Gate, where the Roman road to Trier left the town. Although smaller than the other two gates..... Source

So perhaps for the Siechen Gate - as the 'S' on the token is highlighted?
