Button

I found this button and I don't have a clue of a time frame it may have been made.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

This button has 3 holes and is the size of a dime.
This button is made of brass or possibly copper
The back of this button is covex.

My opinion is it's a shirt undergarment button from the mid to late 1800s.

I could not yet find a reference to the writing on it... or at least what I could read.
