Button ID and info anyone SOLVED

I recently found this button and after posting it had been brought to my attention that it had some lettering on the back of the button and looked to possibly be silver.It would seem that the lettering is too worn to make out or at least I haven't been able to yet. The button is almost the exact diameter of a U.S. fquarter with the button being only a hair smaller. It does have some weight to it indicating that it my be silver or ossibly pewter not sure...who knows. Bottom 2 pictures are after cleaning with a polishing cloth to see if it cleaned up like sterling. I have seen many different designs of sun buttons online but nothing like this one yet.

Can anyone add any information to this such as possibly what the markings on the back of the button are? Possible age, content, or any other information?

Any ID assistance is appreciated and thanks in advance.

The lower picture of the sun button front and the bottom picture of the back are after cleaning it up a bit.

Here is one on Etsy. Listed as a pewter handmade artisan button.



I looked at you picks. The first character in the string of letters is a greek omega symbol. The last appears to be a copyright symbol ('C' inside a circle).

It looks like a modern version of a couple pewter ones I've seen with that design. The French liked the Sun symbol.... King Louis "The Sun King."
