Old medals from grandpa's collection. Anyone know what they are?

My mom recently gave me a whole bunch of coins to look through that her dad had collected over the years. I'd say 80% was pocket change from the 60's and 70's, all circulated. There was some silver mixed in but nothing to good. I came across these medals and have no idea what they are or how to research them. Anyone have any ideas?
The dark medal weighs 140 grams, the bronze weighs 165 grams.

The date on the medals (16 February 1878?) must be the date of his funeral.

it is stamped on the rim,
Are these worth anything?

If I guess the value, can I win it in a "giveaway" ?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
