Now that Spence pointed me in the right direction I can find much more about this. It is a medallion by Daniel Freidrich Loos (1735-1819). The "Vor 1945" in the auction listing translates to "before 1945" . Looking at other Loos medals I'm thinking this dates to the first quarter of the 19th century. I found this in a lot of coins I purchased on ebay. Surprise finds are always nice.
"Trinket alle daraus" is a quote from Scripture, specifically the scripture verse stated in the exergue: Matthew 26:27.
Even more specifically, it's the slightly archaic spelling used in Martin Luther's 1545 translation. Modern German editions of the Bible spell that first word "Trinkt".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
