Unidentified Medal or Medallion. Any Ideas ??

[Heavy Chevy]

Hello Gang,

I found this while helping a friend clean out a garage to a new place he was renting. It was obviously left by a previous occupant.

The name on the front reads "Friedrich Ludwig Jahn."
I googled the name and found that he was considered "The father of gymnastics"

I was curious about the medal itself.There is a blemish on the very top like it may have had a thingy for being hooked to a ribbon. It appears to be brass or bronze.
Was just curious as to the age or value. I don't have any books on this subject.
If anyone can point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.

Thank again for any and all help,

Mike in SC
