Hopefully someone knows something about this commemorative token. It may not be readable, so I am including all the words below.

The obverse has the words: frauenkirche, 13.jahrh.
The reverse has the words: UNTERRIEXINGEN, 793 erstmals urkundlicherwaehnt.
The reverse also has the coat of arms for Unterriexingen.

Thanks for any assistance. I have not found anything on the internet.

It commemorates the 13 centuries of the church. Jahrh = Jahrhundert abbreviation.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frauenkirche_(Unterriexingen)
The church was built in 793. erstmals urkundlicherwaehnt = first documented.
Unterriexingen is a village in the district of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. By 1973 it was incorporated to the city of Markgröningen.
Looks modern, so probably part of a series. Welcome to the site. :)
