These silver-gilt medallions with scenes of the Christ's life (here the Flagellation) in repoussé, are showing Gothic architectural features characteristic of the 14th century A.D., which are often represented in artworks of the late Medieval Age including manuscript illuminations and stained glass. Interestingly, the two executioners are represented with the typical caps worn in Medieval Germany by the Jews of the same period.
