✅ SOLVED Info on centennial thing

[Joe-Dirt]

This was found by the home owner at one of my permissions. It has 1876-1776 stamped on it with what looks to be either lady liberty or Batman in the center. My thinking is it may have been a novelty item at the time of the nations centennial anniversary. Looks like it maybe be made to slip over a shirt or coat button?? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
It was found in the ground at around 8” on an old New England farm.

how big is it?

Sorry, it’s about the size of a US half dollar, made of copper and is fairly thin
