177 (?) 1Reale , 2 military buttons ??

Had a few hours in one of my favorite fields on MV, it rarely fails to give up something of interest. The silver coin was a clean sold hit at about 9inches, not in great shape ,but always love any Spanish silver. The buttons were not far from each other and were both at only 5 inches. If anybody can ID them I would appreciate it. Gotta love this warm weather in the northeast !!!!!!

Is the backmark from the Customs button or the US Federal Navy officers button? Navy button dates 1810's to 1830's. G&W Boggett in business from 1824 - 1861 in London. Customs button might be Canadian Customs Service...? Is there any lettering just above the Crown? Like VR?

Thanks,, the pic of the button ( back side ) is the "customs" button . The site would let me load more pics, the navy button is less readable.

Pretty sure that Customs 'Crown' is pre-Victorian, so narrows the date to 1824-1837. G & W narrows it again to 1835-37.
