The profile looks a bit like that of Napoleon III (a.k.a. Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte), the French emperor c . 1852-70.

SO DO YOU THINK THAT THIS BUTTON WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CIVIL WAR.ALSO THE BLACK PIECE ON THE BUTTON, DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE BLACK GLASS OR MAYBE BLACK PEARL.DO YOU THINK THAT THIS BUTTON HAS ANY VALUE.
