Some more coin buttons?

[fyrffytr1]

These belong to my brother. He found them in MD many years ago. I know there has been discussion about these here but I don't remember what was said. Are they coins or not?

They came from the same site where he found the "MEB" button that was posted in an earlier thread. It is a very rare button.

Beautiful! They are buttons made in the image of the Spanish Pillar Dollar.


Heres a great link. Yours show the Mexico mint mark. http://www.artifacts.org/patriotic.htm

Buttons, yes. Since they are so small, they may be cufflinks. There have been both posted on this forum in the past. They are certainly 1700s in origin.
