Any help identifying this worn coin and really old button would be awesome!
 

I don't see any detail on the coin at all.... Should we assume copper?

Maybe a 32mm token? Are you going to clean the item?

It's marked up like a knockout plug from a junction box that was whacked out with a screwdriver. 1-1/4" seems like a size that they would be found in. Hopefully the metal type will prove this theory wrong.

The patina looks very old, maybe an early (1700's maybe early 1800's) copper coin?

No not a junction box ko it's definitely a coin it has an outer ring and its copper

Very good, I'm glad that I was wrong. (responding to rykroll)

Possibly an old "20 cash" coin from China; but only because of it's diameter and composition.

I have many of those, they are very thin. The coin the OP has is very think. Not sure.

It weighs 25g and does anyone know anything about my button?

The button isn't old. That's a modern blazer button. You can tell by the rusted out iron back. An older button would be a two piece with a copper back.

Very tough to ID toasted copper coins. Also very frustrating, so I do feel your pain!
