Hello,
It's a commemorative medal of the city of Huy (in Belgium).
Observe :
Coat of arms and motto of the city : "MIEUX VAUT MOURIR DE FRANCHE VOLONTE QUE DU PAYS PERDRE LA LIBERTE" (It's better to die of free will than losing the liberty of our Country).
Reverse :
Coat of arms of the eleven corporations of the city : "LES XI BONS METIERS DE LA VILLE DE HUY" (The 11 good jobs of the city of Huy)

The name CEGRAM probably refers to a factory near Huy bearing this name (it doesn't exist anymore I think).
