never seen a button like this, from gold ring site

this thing is solid and heavy, little bit of design around the edges of the front, i assume this is 1700s since most things i find here are, any info would be appreciated

Biggest darn flat button I ever seen, I thought I seen a masonic compass on it. Guess I'm just seeing things? Cool find.
