Please crop and re-post the picture, along with a cropped picture of the back side; this will aid in the id.

Hi; Down & Dirty is right.We can not possibly ID the piece unless We have better pictures of it ok. BOTH FRONT & BACK. Also if possible take one of the sides so that We can see if it is Concave or Convex. If it is either We can also tell you the methods used to produce the button as well. An "ACCURATE" thickness reading will give Us even more details that We can pass on to you. The best way to get that measurement is with a Micrometer ok. Thanks. We await. PEACE:RONB

Sorry. Here you go

The shank/loop construction has me thinking it is a corroded White Tombac button, which is civilian-used. Late-1700s through very-early 1800s.
