Unusual Token / Button / Cap

[ANTIQUARIAN]

Found this unusual metal cap of sorts. Don't know whether it was a token, button or a cap of some type. Was hoping somebody might be able to tell me what it says and possibly what it's function was?

I think the writing is German as the eagle looks to be of German origin.
Measures 28mm or 1 1/4".

Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

A Hessian Soldier Button, but it could be a modern blazer button reproduction.
