Description: | An incomplete Post Medieval or early Modern button, designed to resemble an As or Dupondius of an Roman Emperor. The design is in relief and depicts a bust of an Emperor facing right, possibly laureate. The legend around the circumference of the button approximates those of obverse legends from these coins but is now largly illegible . The reverse is undecorated and has the remains of an attachment lug that has been broken away. There are similar examples on the database: CORN-08E907; CORN-08CCA7; KENT-F892F4; SUSS-AA3C46. c. AD 1700-1850.
