✅ SOLVED Interesting Button

[instigator008]

Dug this today, in Ontario, Canada. The only thing I can find is that George IV visited Scotland in 1822. Is it a commemorative button? If so, I can’t find any examples!

1 piece convex that I am reluctant to clean!

Very nice button. Don't do anything until you get guidance on cleaning. Post a pic of the back too.

Thanks. Here’s the back.

That is a thistle above the date. It may be Scottish military, possibly aHighlander regimental button. Possible starting point for research anyway.
