Dragon killing Saint George

I found the antique large brass medal of St. George.
Dragon killing Saint George knight we see it S : GEORGIVS . EQVITVM .PATRONVS.
(sanctus Georgius equitum patronus), that is Saint George the knights
(or the combatant soldiers) shielding with a circular.
The rider XVII. carries century knight clothes; armour, steel helmet with a plume,
his weapon lance. On the horse short saddle blanket, ornate stable gear.
Before the forelegs of the horse, in the background on rock kneeling desk Aja a princess's praying shape shows, who the victim of a dragon terrorizing Silena city raffled, and who the knight in heavy fight, the dragon with his lance sticking saved. The depiction in this manner the first knightly virtue, signals the woman's protection. We see a tumbling ship with Christ sleeping in him on the rough sea and with two pupils, IN TEMPESTATE . SECVRITAS, safety in the danger with a circular.
One of the pupils awaken Christ just, his raised hands indicate it to the other sky from sinking truth fear. The medal picture and the circular from Christ's life concerns a bought well-known scene. The two sides offer safety in the danger collective, demonstrating the life-saving strength by the front page.
This characteristic type of the Hungarian medallions the XVII. a century appears in his second party, the forming of the medal type Roth Hermann Kereszt

I also found this same medal earlier this year while on holidays in Europe - it's in a slightly better condition. Does anyone know more about it?
 
WOW. Very nice.
I'd find away to put it to a chain and wear it
around your neck to keep the dragons away! LOL
