Hi,
I found a few mentions of a medal like this on a french website. It appears to be french in origin but I am checking out a few other possibilities. The legend on one side is intempestate securitas . The other side has a legend S Georgius Equitum Patronus.

It seems to be a common design for medals. Go to: to see one like it

Fisherman's charm

Fisherman's charm. Obverse: St George in a plumed cap and armour, on horseback spearing the dragon. Legend: 'S : GEORGIVS . EQVITVM . PATRONVS .' (St George, patron of the knights). Reverse: Port broadside view of a fishing-boat amid waves, its sail bellying out; Christ asleep in the bows, a disciple awaking him, another in the stern. Legend: 'IN TEMPESTATE . SECURITAS.' (safety in the storm). Medal carried as a protection against perils at sea, the design based on that of gold ducat coins struck at Kremnitz, Hungary between 1600-1800.
