It appears to be an artillery button dated from 1808-1821 Gary. Very good find. Can you make out a backmark?

Thanks Old Dude
Still trying to make out the back mark.

YW Gary. According to Albert's book, it has a pretty good RV ( Relative Value ) for a military button.

OD the back mark is strong,and a reef around the back mark.

Probably " Extra/Strong ". That one is listed. Is it 22 mm?
