It is a brass 1-piece "flatbutton." I should mention, in case you don't already know, the great majority of brass 1-piece flatbuttons had a plain (blank) front. The raised wreath in the backmark dates your button to being from about 1790 into the 1830s. Its brass body has been heavily corroded by the high-nitrate fertilizer used in that cornfield.
