Description: | Large cast lead circular button. Diameter 32mm, thickness, excluding the loop, 9.5mm. The button, dome-shaped at the front, with a slightly upturned rim, is flat at the back. At the centre of the front is a pellet enclosed by an annulet which is 10.5mm in diameter. Radiating from the annulet are three raised ribs dividing the circular area into three equal spaces of the same size. Within each of the spaces is a line of three pellets. These lines are at right angles to the diametric axis. The loop, which might be better described as a lug, is perforated close to the back of the button. The dimensions of the lug are 10mm in length and 3mm thick. However, these dimensions are approximate as the loop is now damaged and bent over to one side at an angle of about 45 degrees. A light whitish-grey deposit of lead oxide covers most of the front and back.
