It looks like an unused copper Leather Rivet, probably intended for making/repairing horse-tack or saddles.

My thought also but wonder why the anchor? Thanks for the reply!

british ships used copper rivets * to repair leather things onboard ships since copper unlike iron would rust in saltwater type enviroments * you say you found a copper coin and tombac button--- these items all common to brit ships as well. ...
