Can't help you with an ID but just wanted to say that you have some very ornate and beautiful Medals!
Wow I have searched. If I find something I’ll let you know. Beautiful!!!! I have looked on this site. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/prussia_kingdom-4.html
Yes it’s so odd. When I type it in, a coin does come up but it’s a double image facing the other way.
@derkerlegand Thank you for the information about Medal_B. After running a search on Heritage Auctions, I came across two examples of Medal_B. It appears to be a medal commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Academy of Sciences. Here is what I came across: I am still looking for information in regards to Medal_A. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Hello Everyone. I am still looking for some information in regards to Medal_A at the top of the post. The only information I have is what is listed above. Any information is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
I have looked and looked. When I search for Medal A… a different one comes up. If, if I find anything I will make sure I post it here. I enjoy a search.

@PamR Thank you for the information. .......... Using Google Translate I have the following: Frederick (III) I 1701-1713. Silver medal 1706, by E. Hannibal, on the marriage of his son, Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm (later King Friedrich Wilhelm I the Soldier King, 1730-1740) with Sophie Dorothea (*1687, Ó1757), daughter of Elector Georg I Ludwig von Braunschweig-Calenberg-Hannover on November 28th. Bust of Sophie Dorothea r. with a cloak thrown around and pearl jewelry in her hair//rainbow over the sea, on the horizon of which the radiant sun is rising, in the foreground on the shore tufts of grass and wood. 59.09mm; 101.84g Brockmann 579. RR stamp error on the edge, very fine Acquired on 07/02/1968. Sophie Dorothea (born March 26, 1687 in Hanover) was the daughter of Elector Georg Ludwig of Brunswick-Calenberg-Hanover and his wife Sophie Dorothea. On June 16, 1706, Friedrich I personally came to Hanover as a suitor for his son Friedrich Wilhelm. On June 18, the engagement was announced and celebrated in a festive way. As queen, the Brunswick princess, who was committed to the baroque need for representation and baroque culture, never really felt comfortable at the Berlin court of her puritanical husband. Sophie Dorothea died at the age of 70 on June 28, 1757 in the Monbijou Palace in Berlin and was buried in the Berlin Cathedral. .......... Does anyone have access to the Gunther Brockmann reference "Die Medaillen der Welfen"? The medal that I have is not a Silver Medal as shown in the example above (referenced as Brockmann 579). The medal I have appears to be Copper. Again, any information is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
Thank you for your help on this. The website you provided shows a reference of "Brockmann 579" (I believe this is the Gunther Brockmann catalog number for my piece). Also listed is a reference from Wolfgang Leschhorn title "Mittelalterliche Munzen" indicating a catalog number 287. I believe this pinpoints the catalog number of the piece I have, but I am still unable to find a sale listing for this. Would anyone have access to either the Brockmann or Leschhorn references to provide more information on this piece? Or can anyone find a sale/auction listing for a piece with the above-mentioned catalog numbers? As always, any information is greatly appreciated. Thank You.
