Coin

I have a very small coin and I am wondering if anyone knows what it is. It could, of course be a load of rubbish and if so, I want to know that too! On the reverse side there is a nude man riding a horse and in one hand he has a sword and also there is a cloak swirling round his shoulders. It also says 1902. On the other side there is a head of someone - looks a bit like Edward Vii, but I am not sure and round the edge it says - In:of 1/2 sovgn:L:chr:lauer:hernberg: made in Germany. Some of the words may be different as they are so small it is difficult to decipher. Hope someone can tell me so that I can either throw it away or carefully conserve it (I hope).
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I can see now that the man on the reverse is indeed St. George. I had not noticed until you said that he was killing a dragon. The obverse though is entirely different from the picture you sent me. It looks like Edward Vll but the lettering is different. I am wondering now if the first letters might be Im rather than In, which might be an abreviation of imitation. Looks like it is not much good after all. Damn!!
