The large St. George medal has a depiction of a ship on rough seas on the reverse, with the Latin inscription which translates to "security in the storm."

True jade is either nephrite, or the even less common and highly sought jadeite. The Saint George defeating the dragon medal, with its stylized design both front and back, was reproduced from an antique coin. Saint George is the Patron of England and knights (horsemen).
