Possible Military Button

[nkellam22]

I found this button in a field in Luxembourg (Western Europe.)
It is made out of copper or some sort of copper alloy.
It is very worn and corroded but I can make out what I believe is an eagle on the button. It reminds me of early US military buttons but could also be a French Napoleonic war-related button as there was some activity in my area.
There is clearly lettering on the top and bottom around the rim but it is hard to make out. I believe I see an R at the 6:00 position and a Y at around the 1:00 position.

Any help is appreciated.





Thanks!

Possibly a WWI Imperial Prussian Uniform button or a WWI Russian Imperial Military button?

Thanks for the feedback, I have found other WW1 Prussian military buttons in the same field as well as other military buttons so that is definitely a possibility although I can't seem to find a match.

I feel the WWI Imperial Prussian Uniform button looks the most similar to the one you found Kellam.

That definitely looks similar but I can still see writing on the top and bottom of my button.

I also believe I can see a Y after the R on the bottom of the Button.
