I know there are some religious relic experts on here...does anyone have insight into the possible era of this pendant? Mother/Baby Jesus on one side. And possibly a saint or Older Jesus on the back? Site goes back to 1600s, so I am not even sure where to start! There aren't any makers marks as far as I can tell, and I believe it is copper.

Thanks :)

The first picture looks like a Sacred Heart and the other seems to be Madonna and Child.
 
I answered my own question...

Good ol wikipedia says:

"Following the claims by Estelle Faguette that the Virgin Mary had appeared to her in 1876 and requested a scapular of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a scapular of the proposed design was approved by the Congregation of Rites in 1900. It bears the representation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on one side and that of the Virgin Mary under the title of Mother of Mercy on the other side."

...so 20th century.
 
Good ID and research. Here's a similar design medal, so you can see what the images kind of looked like:
