Description: | Cast lead-alloy button probably dating from the 17th century. The button appears to be either micast or broken because it has a bulbous centre on the reverse but no attachment loop. On the obverse it is decorated with a moulded crowned bust left, possibly with long hair. The letter R is visible just to the right of the crown. There would have been another capital to the left of the crown indicating which king is depicted but that has worn off. The reverse is decorated with a fine moulded decoration made up of concentric circles.Four other buttons have been recorded on the database, depicting James I or Charles I: LANCUM-E353F2, NLM-8AAF01, NLM-8AA0D2, NCL-C817C4.NB: Images and findspot information were kindly supplied by the finder via email.
