Geoffrey Plantagenet's badge was 6 lions rampant on a shield.
Which is probably not a lot to do with this badge.

Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou
Six gold Rampant Lions on an Azure (blue) field..... the "hatching" lines denote the colour. The shield shape is known as a "College of Arms" shape.

Probably a souvenir box?
