thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 08/18/2009 03:46 am On the upper picture, could the word at 1 to 3 o'clock be MÆDIRA, an alternative spelling for MADEIRA? Perhaps MÆDINA somebody's surname? Report this Post to the Staff

It's called a "backmark", indicating the place of manufacture. Example of an old English button on UKDFD. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Not1Cent New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 10:47 am Sorry I've been working a lot lately but just saw all of the replies. I really appreciate all the effort on trying to identify this thing. If it's a button than so be it. All I know is I have no idea and you all have given great help. Thanks!

Not1Cent New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 10:51 am When I get my hands on the coin one more time I'll Try to get some better shots. I understand it is worn and dirty so that makes it harder to distinguish between other coins and buttons. After that I might give up and leave it to my Mom and her set idea that it is a great missing coin. Report this Post to the Staff
