This is my first post so hopefully I will get a reply or two. I have inherited an album which has rekindled my coin collecting. I am working through it but I am stumped with the attached photo. Appears to be Georgius slaying a dragon with a storm caught boat on the reverse. It's quite small at just under 2 cm. I have been researching for a few days now without too much success. Has anyone got any ideas?

It reminds me of Nuremberg Jetons, could be one of the more modern ones.

Since I don't see a date or value I assume it's a token of some sort.
(Or a Jeton which I don't know anything about.)

Welcome!
Our friend alganbagerap gave a good summing-up on these S. Georgius Equitum Patronus/Securitas Intempestate religious medals here:

Thanks for your help. I have had a loo day the link and tried some more research. This has a Georgius with a distinct dres and hair cut that seems too dissimilar to the other types and also the reverse has three men, two facing towards and one away from the viewer. All the other representations I have seen show a resting Jesus. The milling on the reverse also looks crude, as if folded over, again does not seem to fit.

Interestingly, both the original post and the previous post appear to be Shell Cards. Something I've not seen before in these medals. I'd appreciate a weight and diameter from both posters if possible. Although the prospect of spending another few years buried in German and Hungarian museum lists doesn't exactly enthrall me.
Rest in Peace

Eh, I understand you, alganbagerap. Too many crooks ruin the bRoth.
