Description: | Copper alloy button. Flat discoid button front with a scar on the back where a separate loop has been lost. The front bears a radial spiral design rendered by tiny juxtaposed individual stamps, and is plates with white metal. The execution may suggest the decoration was executed in a craft rather than an industrial context; the thickness of the button is so close to exactly 1mm as to hint at a date after 1800, when Napoleon promulgated the metric system, and hence it is possibly of Continental manufacture. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1815-1850.Diameter: 23.3mm, Thickness: 1.0mm, Weight: 3.3gms
