Answer
Hi again Ramon,
The first medal is from Belgium, dated 1825. This celebrates the marriage between Prince Frederic of Belgium and Princess Louisse of Prussia. I have seen a few of them come up for sale in the past, value on the European market is around 50 euro.
The second medal is from the German state of Prussia and dated 1840. This pictures Kaiser Wilhelm as protector of the Masonic order. This is a more interesting one because of the affiliation with the Masons. I have not seen any at auction, and the value is difficult to determine. It would likely be worth more to a collector of Masonic items than a collector of German medals.
Thanks again for the question! =)
