It may have something to do with William Henry Harrison.

Are those words on the back? What does it say?

The nearest I can tell is, SCHWAABS MILWAUKEE

I meant the tiny words... It is probably the Lord's Prayer.

Here is info on the company:

In 1881, Andrew founded the Northwestern Stamp Company in Milwaukee and added
two branches — one in St. Paul where his brother George was manager and one in
Chicago with brother Theodore managing. Finding it difficult to operate in three
locations, the two branches were sold and operations consolidated in
Milwaukee.

On May 8, 1888, the company incorporated and changed its name
to Schwaab Stamp and Seal Company.

Cool piece. I don't know what the log cabin represents but these guys did lots of work for the 100s of faternal organizations at the turn of the 20th C.

There also appears to be printed letters (small, for sure) at the very bottom of the medallion (front). What does it say?

I think it might be the Lord's Prayer. See this one like it-

There is are some references to commemorative medals for the 250th Anniversary of the founding of Norwalk, CT that sound like it too. A similar design might have been used for some other towns.

** eta I see that DCMatt already made the Lord's Prayer connection

Worldtalker,
I doubt my eyes are better than yours, but I do admit to a vivid imagination.
So maybe what I'm looking at under 350X is nothing more than ridges.

There are certainly tiny words on the back side in the center. Can you make them out?
