I found these in a Colonial era location that has given up some nice stuff over the years. If you can help with the ID of these I would appreciate it.

The button has a 3 masted sailing ship on the front and is a cuff sized button. It appears to be a one piece button and has the words "Fancy" and "Orange Colour" as a back mark.

The coin is definately Spanish. It appears to be made of either copper or bronze and to have the date of 1858 on it. It has the bust of Isabella II on the front and the typical Spanish Shield on the rear with the number 10 to the bottom left of the shield.

Thanks in advance for any help on identifying these. The fertilizer in the field took its toll on the coin.
