Seems like the text is S.GEORGIVS EQVITVM PATRONUS latin and meens St. George Patron of Riders. look like it is a picture of a knight fighting a dragon (or something). Could look like have been goldplated. Anyone?

Tried to search and there are some possibilities...
Anything on the other side? Also you could try to get sharper pics..if you have a scanner try it instead of using a camera.
Is there a ship on the other side with text " In tempestate securitas"? If so, then it is a token based on Hungarian half ducat that was issued between 1600-1800.

Thank you Voriax. Very hard to see but it looks like a ship on the other side. Will try to scan it.
