🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Long shot

[Older The Better]

Found this button today, domed, one piece… I know it’s not much to go on but i figured worth a shot, any info would be great, all I can say is seems old. I found a similarly constructed one in an 1830’s trade site. But this one was found in a field near a site with 1860’s coins and a couple civil war cavalry buttons.
I tried to get an Andres pencil on the back but it’s so small it’s tough to get clean, I don’t think there’s markings but I’m afraid if I really work it I may break it. The front seems to have an odd raised pattern /non pattern. Sure would be great if anyone recognizes it but not holding my breath

That looks like a crown in the center.

I was looking at civil war general service buttons for my other thread and stumbled on these, not exactly right but seems one piecedomed buttons were around in the mid 1800’s so it’s probably from roughly the civil war era like the other stuff I find there.

I see the shank in the front of the button. Could it have had a separate face?

Possibly, I’ve wondered if the front is showing the shank too. all I can say is it has the feel of a complete one piece button, but I’m no expert
