That button is a US Army "Great Seal Of The United States" button. Because this one is made of brass/bronze and it does not have a raised rim around its edge, it was made sometime between 1902 and 1910. Ever since then, ones made in America have had a raised rim (like you see at the link posted by Duggap).
