Mystery "face" button - ***SOLVED***

O.K. here's a tricky one. This button was in a group of CW buttons and older buttons I bought Saturday at an auction. They were dug at the Aversboro, NC. battleground back in the 70's. When I cleaned this button up I noticed a face on the front and what looks like lettering around the edge. The shank is not like one I've seen before on CW or even late 1700's buttons. It's a flat band type shank made of brass.
Any idea who that may be on the button and what era this could be from?

Thanks for your help,
MM

Folks, I think we'll call this one solved as a King George button or cuff link.
Thanks for all of your help.
Have a great week,
