It's similar to a King Arthur knights button but- not sure what kind yours is with out doing some research which i won't be able to til 2morrow morning, if it's not solved,i will see what i can find.. Picture of the back with shank wouldn't hurt either.. good luck!

It's copying the Roman 'trophies of war'. Looks about 50 years old max.

The steel back is another good indicator of a mid 20th C button.

Still a really cool find for me, my first button.

I never said it wasn't cool, as button's go it's got lots of eye appeal & if it your first that makes it very special because most (80%) of mine are blank.

OK. That's what's important. FIRSTS, of any kind & whether you like it. All the rest is value ($$$) & BS which means little to me. Although I call it modern, which to me it is, its the first one I have seen posted & I've never had one identical, & it is a KEEPER!

It sure is, I by no means doing this for money I've found a few things of some value but I intend to keep them don't get me wrong the clad I get I do turn in but I tend to use that toward batteries and new equipment this is a life saving hobby for me and I love every thing about it I'm really new to it but love it

Nice button

May be a bit older than 50 years.

Here's one like it dated Victorian:

Same design different reverse (might be coated steel). Although late Victorian was the first steel backed buttons.

Looks a great match, not sure I trust the source.
