It is a "Fashion" button made for use on fancy civilian clothing. Yours has a thin sheet of copper (bearing the design) crimped over a typical 1-piece brass flatbutton's body -- a version of button-construction which dates it to the 1810s through 1830s. The backmark saying "Treble Plate / Stand[ard] Col[our]" is a typical British backmark from that time-period. The use on the word "Plated" in the backmark means your button's sheetcopper front was silverplated. The word "Gilt" means goldplated.

As I said on your other post, British button, early 1800s. Civilian. Treble plate means "Highly Plated" not "triple plated" as some would assume.

Solved.

Regards,

Hmmm... the word treble seems to be highly associated with three/triple. See the category "in other uses" at: Treble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
