It is a Swedish memorial medal for the Swedish engineer Nils Ericson, who was a leading engineer in the 19th century. Among other things, he led the construction of the first Swedish national railways. His brother John Ericsson might be more known in the US (he built the USS Monitor).

The medal is part of a series issued by the Swedish Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences (in Swedish IVA - Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien), featuring famous Swedish engineers.

It is a nice medal, but the value is low. Medals like these sell for a few dollars in Sweden.
