My kids dug this up outside our house. I cleaned it up a little. Any ideas if it's a coin and where it might be from? I thought it might also be a button due to the mark in center of reverse. Thanks.

My guess would be a button.

Button looks to be the case.

The object is 1 1/8 inch in diameter and it is flat. If it's a button, it is a flat and large one!

Buttons come in all sizes. The reverse looks to have a hole where the button loop broke off.

the reverse seems to have been the place where a hook or eye hole would have been.
almost positive it's a button

...be a button. I've heard that some buttons can actually hold some surprisingly elevated retail resale values. A couple of ?s: 1. Do we yet have at least a 50% assumed-to-be-correct guess as to the most probable description including country and possibly what event it's referring to? 2. Do buttonmatic price guides exist divulging current retail values and associated photos? PS: I just now made up that odd descriptive word for the price guide.  I hope it already doesn't have a trademark that I could be infringing upon! |

If it doesn't have a trademark I will apply for one straight away! The Buttonmatic price guide will be found at all good book shops, worth a visit if you have at least 50% assumed to be correct information on the location of the aforementioned establishment.
Back to the point though, it was probably a large button on the front of an overcoat. This mark is so tell tale as is having detail on only one side.
