What is it?

I am seeking your expertise. This apparently religious round has me baffled. I've looked it up by the words, but have had little result. Very high relief. About 1 1/2 inches across. Weighs about 2/3 ounce. It looks very Catholic, Latin, or maybe Mexican?


For context, The second coin is the top of a quarter, and the chain is dog tag head chain. The first photos I have posted. They were much clearer before I loaded them.

Words:
Side: COR JCSL SACRA MISCRCRC NOBLIS
Side: CCCC SIGN VM SALVTIS

Hallmarks are: CREEDCO STERLING

Help, even direction would be appreciated, thank you.

Looks like the work of French sculptor Fernand Py. He did a lot of religious medals.

"COR JCSL" is probably "COR JESU"
