The plain-front disc which says "gold" (and other words, probably "Rich Gold Color") on the back is known among relic-diggers as a flat-button. The thread-loop on the back of yours is mostly broken off. It was manufactured for use on civilian clothing, although a few military Militia units are known to have used plain-front flatbuttons. The marking saying "gold" on your is written in "indented" lettering, which on a flatbutton dug in America means it was manufactured sometime between approximately 1810 and 1840.
