I recently acquired this plaque. I asked the previous owner if they had any details on the origins of such a chip.
I know of no casino attached to actual Moulin Rouge in Paris. Is this likely a custom job?
Might be a casino by that name in Mississippi, but dunno if they ever issued plaques.
There was a famous Moulin Rouge in Vegas back in the day. It was the joint that Sammy Davis Jr. would frequent when racial segregation was a thing.
However there is about zero chance that plaque came from that casino. No denom makes me think it is either a sample or like you said a custom chip. Well done to whoever created it though, it's a great looking plaque.
Here you go. They have windmills in Estonia? Who knew?

I have heard of the old Moulin Rouge of Vegas. Didn’t know Sammy performed there so thanks for that bit of trivia.
Mind you the rat pack seemingly performed in just about every hotel at one point.
Yeah, that was the thing. They wanted Sammy to perform, but they wouldn't let him hang out. To unwind he had to go to the Moulin Rouge.
The integrated euro € symbol is one of the nicer design flourishes I've ever seen. Clever, and well done imo. Kudos to the designer, whoever he was.
Is that a windmill on there? That might be a clue. Where do they have windmills?
