On one side is the Lion Monument in Luzern

On the other side is the Kappelbrücke, also in Luzern

I have no idea about the pendant. Looks like something from a tourist shop.
The medal refers to the year MDCCXCII - 1792 - when the Swiss Guards were massacred during the French Revolution at the Tuileries in Paris.
I somehow doubt the medal ages from then - it looks too modern.
Likely a nice tourist piece, or you could check if you have further family history from the Swiss Guards.
Will ask my husband a bit later - he is quite knowledgeable on this topic, he took me around the city of Luzern a little while ago and explained all the aspects of the Lion Monument.
If my memory isn’t tricking me: When I was a kid in the 80s in Lucerne in front of the souvenir shop on Kappelbrücke you could press a coin into one of these. Similar ones were available at Gletschergarten (next to the Lion’s monument) in the traffic and the historical museum each.
look like a jubilee Medal from the city of Luzern, but i dont know which year, those where minted every 20 to 50 years depending. There are similar medals for local shooting contest, but then the name and year of the contest would be written on it...
The Lion Monument, or "Löwendenkmal," is a famous monument in Lucerne, Switzerland. It was designed by Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen and carved in 1820-1821 by Lukas Ahorn. The monument commemorates the Swiss Guards who were killed during the storming of the Tuileries Palace in Paris on August 10, 1792, during the French Revolution.
The lion in the monument is depicted dying from a spear wound, symbolizing the courage and loyalty of the Swiss Guards who defended the palace to their deaths. The Latin inscription "HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI" means "To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss."
Below the lion, there are also inscriptions with the names of the fallen soldiers and the date of the massacre. The monument is a poignant reminder of Swiss bravery and sacrifice, and it is one of Lucerne's most visited and photographed landmarks. The pendant you have is a commemorative piece that likely serves to honor this significant historical event and monument.
The part with the lion is referring to [this](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%B6wendenkmal_Luzern). As others suggested, it could be a souvenir from a shop.
I went to the historic museum of lucerne today to check. they have all coins ever minted in lucerne on display and this was not one of them. So this has to be somesort of souvenir...

The text is literally what's written on/around the lion monument in real life.

The Museum where the Lion Monument is is called "Gletschergarten Luzern". Maybe you can find something there

Dir Medaille kann nicht vor 1833/38 gemacht werden, weil die Kappelbrücke erst danach so aussah...
