I found it in the UK and it's not a design I've seen before.
Can anyone tell me more about it?

First, welcome to the forums. There is a wealth of knowledge here, some even correct!
A picture of the whole button with a size reference and a picture of the back would help get you a proper ID. That is a very interesting one.

It almost looks like a home made button that was made from a shotgun shell brass. The circular depression in the middle gave me that idea.

Its a carved/scratched flat button done by hand,most likely by the owner not manufacturer. Cool find.

This type of button with a drilled shank on the reverse are 17th C, some creep into the 18th.
That incised coin is very cool!
