Pin or button?

[oddcoins]

Hello!

I found this flat pin or button thing today downtown Eugene Oregon. I don't see any lettering on it (front or back) ~ the image on it looks like a bomb with a pineapple top! It's made of copper or bronze, and is about 26 millimeters in diameter.

It's a little bigger than a US quarter ~ looks like there was some kind of mounting on the bacl for a pin or something.

Anyone know what this is from? How old is it?

THANKS!!
Neil

But need to see the back.

It looks like an ordnance collar stud of some sort.

Maybe this group of buttons may help point you in the right direction.

Here is a pewter button from 1812 in the Canadian Heritage Museum collection.
