I found these two buttons the other day on an 18th Century site here in New Jersey. They are dome shaped, copper alloy and 21mm. Any ideas??

These buttons has been identified as Patriotic 18th Century Bar Buttons. The motif is unique with the sun ray design at the center. These fall into the same category as the

Revolutionary War Patriotic RATTLESNAKE Button​
