can you get a larger version of the first picture? and clearer for both would help.

Is that a date or initials below the R in ALARVM in the second picture?

Sub umbra alarum tuarum protege nos. (Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of an eye. Protect us under the shadow of your wings).

Wormatiensis relates to Worms (the place, not the bait).

The 1000 might relate to the year 1000AD or 1000 years celebration 978AD-1978AD.

It looks to be a celebration medallion tied to a person (S.R.IMP) connected with Worms.

That makes sense now. Does it have value? Or just silver weight value?

S R IMP stands for Sacrum Romanum Imperium (Holy Roman Empire). The 1000 indicates pure silver (as opposed to 925 for sterling). This is a bullion round made with the stylings of the 17th century coins of the city of Worms.

Looks like a reproduction of a thaler, city of Worms
KM# 109, 1660
http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...-duid-248604
Ruler in that period was Hugo Eberhard Kratz von Scharfenstein, 1654-1663
the date should be on top of the picture
