Thought this was a cool find today, has anyone ever seen a coin that was used as a button, this is a first for me.

Incredible find!
 
Very nice find... a flat button and coin all in one. Congrats.
 
Anyone have any idea on how to properly clean the coin/ button. I just do not like the multiple color patina and would rather it be more uniform. I never do anything more than clean with soap and water. I know some people soak their finds in olive oil. Also added a couple more better photographs

Thanks
