Button?

[Auriemma]

I finally got out yesterday and found what I think is a button, along with 2 wreath pennies (one I lost. BOOO!).
Anyone have any idea as to age? And what would be the best way to try to clean some of the corrosion off?
Thanks

Best way to clean it? See if there is any detail?
Or just leave it.

Nothing to clean, it's very corroded & was most likely just plain plated which has all gone.

Well, I gave it light cleaning with hot water, soap, and a toothbrush. Found some gold guild still attached (low right). Cool
