If there’s lead in the back it may be a horse rosette
1850s 1870s ( that is only a guess )

If it's lead backed like that its definitely a bridle rosette for a horse.

Nice find!

That block lettering is the key to the date of that rosette. Welcome to Treasure Net!

It could also be a uniform collar disc. You should re-post it, with a quarter of half dollar coin as a size reference. That would help a lot. If it is lead filled on the back side, then it is not a collar disc, and I would go with Rosette.

Looks like a jacket button on cuff or for an epaulette or shoulder of military uniform- officer.

I agree with the horse rosette, but I thought this lettering style was Post-CW, circa WWI. But thats from memory, not looked at any references/books.
