The front has raised decoration and consists of a flower head with six petals and a central pellet all within a circle. Outside the circle, regular cusped lines form a wavy border. A linear casting seam can be seen at the back.This button is corroded with an uneven buff patina. A small portion of the peripheral edge is missing due to an old break.
