Ok...
First... they are not silver...
Second they are not "buttons"...

They are cufflinks... that have been through heck and back.
Here is what they SHOULD look like

Can you please take a picture of the back to verify my opinion on these ?

They could have been part of a set... in other words... not cufflinks... but "clip ons".

 

[Backwoodsbob]

AARC, those are nice. Can you tell me where are they from? Time period and maybe what society

They look either Templar and Jesuit. Looks to have some code on them.

First they are not cufflinks, I know what cufflinks are...they have shank backs..as a button does

 

[CaliBlueGirl]

And second they are silver, I took them to a jeweler. But thanks for the correction attempts and finally uniting me with something similar

 

[CaliBlueGirl]

Thank you nope, nothing on the back, just the shank / hole

 

[CaliBlueGirl]

They are so fascination to me lol...if only history could speak

 

[CaliBlueGirl]

I'm hunting info on them...only thing in my collection that im stumped on

 

[ARC]

Well then...
I stand corrected.

The only examples that I found of these are the ones pictured .

For the record... Prior to the 1930's (give or take a decade), the cuffs of a mans dress shirt were held together by two small buttons with a link or a short chain between them. That's why they are called cufflinks.



This is a picture of the backs of early 20th C cufflinks.
