Button

A button. Just seeing if someone might have some
Info. It says “superior gold colour” on the back. Some kind of six pointed star on the front or that’s what I call it anyways.

I think it is a fancy civilian button and from the spelling of colour, made in England. I am guessing mid 19th century starting around 1835 give or take a few years. Is the backmark raised letters?

It might be my eyes playing tricks on me, but the back looks like brass and the face looks to be iron?
The front must be stamped brass though, I guess it's just the corrosion that makes it look like iron to me.
