Hi Epatrik and welcome to the forum!

You can find some information about your token here https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces111550.html
Yours has a different weight and diameter to the one pictured but there are others listed below it when you scroll down. Bear in mind also that yours have been altered to some extent when being turned into jewellery items.

Just came across this information as well:

'Obverse:
St. George, mounted, slaying dragon
Around which:
St. GEORGIUS EQUITUM PATRONUS
(St. George Patron Saint of Knights)
Reverse:
A storm tossed ship containing a sleeping Christ
and two frightened Apostles
Around which:
INTEMPESTATE SECURITAS
(Safety in the storm)
You can read all sorts of nonsense about these on eBay. Here's the true story:
The obverse comes from a coin called a Mansfeld thaler. First minted in 1521, it was commissioned by a
Count vonMansfeld and honoured his family's patron saint. The von Mansfeld family trade was warfare and his symbol was adopted for luck by his mercenary troops.
Skipping forward a century or so and the thaler had been replaced by a charm or amulet bearing St George but now with the addition of Christ on the reverse.
This design is generally credited to a Hungarian engraver, Christian Hermann Roth and, with modifications, has been in continuous production ever since.
