Well, I'm surprised nobody has identified this yet. Looks to be pewter and very old. Maybe colonial. Very nice find!

The pictures are relly too small for me to see. I may be wrong but it just doesn't look that old to me. I hope someone does prove me wrong and it turns out that you have a good button.

It has the look of something old and interesting

The pic of the back shows that it may be made pot metal/ white metal and the shank doesn't have the look of an old button, it may be a modern blazer button made to look like an older uniform button

Seems to be the Coat of Arms of Colombia

Thanks! I googled it and your idea is better than anything I've seen. The bird (eagle or condor) is looking the wrong way but other than that everything looks right.

Not pewter but a cheap white/pot metal 20th C Button
