✅ SOLVED What is this? Brass Eagle button, E Pluribus Unum, Made in England- What war?

[sarawisman]

Found this relic hunting today on land that has been in my family since early 1800s. I can't find anything on-line like it and was just wondering what war it was from? Year? Value? It's in GREAT condition. It's brass, slightly larger than a quarter, has "Made in England" on the back and has "E Pluribus Unum" above the Eagle's wings. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

Pretty sure it's WWI era button

That is a Great Seal button and dates from 1910 to the present day. The backmark will be the key to dating it and I am sure BigCypressHunter will be interested in it as he is compiling a list of Great Seal backmarks. It is not on the list I have but, hopefully, BigCY will be along soon and can shed some light on it.
