Can anyone help identify this medallion?

I acquired this with a bunch of German military medals and was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is and if it has any value? Thanks in advance!

This is not a military medal.

It is a so called "Hamburger Hochzeitstaler", silver, struck about 1700.
The text on the front: "Ein tugendsam Weib ist eine endle Gabe - und wird dem gegeben, der Gott fürchtet." It is a text from the Holy Bible: Sirach, 26,3.

In front you see Jesus and an altar with bride and briedegroom.

This medal should remember the marriage.
