The 1889 medallions were given (or sold?) to visitors who ascended the tower during the Exposition Universelle . This was the Eiffel Tower's inaugural year and later souvenir medallions look very different from this one. Visitors were not allowed past the second stage of the tower during the World's Fair so the "ascension au sommet" refers to this.
I believe the medallion is worth $40 to $100 depending on condition. I just bought one in excellent shape for $65 and consider it a good bargain. I have seen the medallion for sale with a box that looks to be original. As a collector I would pay up to 50% more if it came in an original souvenir box.
