Is this a coat of arms? And can somebody possibly date it.

It corrodes differently than some other metals

Depending the length of time in the ground, it should stay relatively shiny if its been in for a short time in favourable soil conditions, but in unfavourable conditions and for a period of time it will break down a deteriorate rapidly

to me it's similar to modern zinc Lincoln cents, they blister and disintegrate in a short time

to me, your button doesn't appear to have been in the ground for a really long time
