Description: | A Post Medieval copper-alloy hollow two piece button dating to the 18th century. The front face is convex and has a crown with the initials 'G R' above. The initials probably stand for 'Georgius Rex', for King George I (AD 1714 - 1727). The button can therefore be dated between 1714 to 1727. At the back of the button is an elongated 'C-shape' attachment loop. The button is squashed and damaged. It measures 24.5mm in diameter. A similar example can be seen in Bailey (2004), figure 9.319, p76.
