Jamaica Militia Button

[Carlitosway2]

I found this in a spot with mostly mid 1800’s coins and some late 1700’s Spanish silver along with many decorative buttons but this one really shocked me as interesting. Can anyone help me date this? Says treble gilt on reverse and can’t make out the rest.

Firstly if you put this in lemon juice for 5 minutes & then use a nail brush under warm water, it will come up nice!

Treble Gilt I think is a early 1800's Quality Back-Mark.

The British Crown is a clue but difficult to see. Pretty sure its a Pre-Victorian one, that would also indicate an early 1800s date.
