Need help on medal. early 1900's or perhaps late 1800's.

Another one of my Saturday garage sale finds. Its a Whitehead & Hoag made item. I know they were known as one of the premiere medal makers in the late 18 and early 1900's. Question is what is this one for? Measures 2-1/2 tall and 1-1/2 wide.
Brass or copper metal. Religious, military, fraternal?

A little more -Mount Calvary Commandery, No. 1, was formed at Omaha by Dispensation dated June 16, 1865, and issued by Grand Master Benjamin B. French. It was organized July 24 and chartered September 6. Representatives of the four Commanderies of the State, Mount Calvary, No. 1; Mount Olivet, No. 2; Mount Carmel, No. 3, and Mount Moriah, No. 4, met in Omaha on December 28, 1871, and established the Grand Commandery of Nebraska.
