Does the backmark says "Son" or Sons"? The difference is important for time-dating it. Chatwin was in business as a button-maker in Birmingham Englans, dating from 1823 into the 1860s... but "Sons" (plural) wasn't part of the company's name until 1850.
I've never seen a pre-20th-century 1-piece Military button with a raised rim around its back side, which yours has... so I think it must be a civilian-clothing button, therefore with some type of Civilian emblem on it.
