What do you mean by "Vb?" I'm not sure I understand the question.

I've seen such cast-brass "tacks" (but they're bigger than a typical tack) used as decorative studs on furniture ...and also, as "skid discs" on luggage/trunks. The shaft on the disc's back was peened outward to hold the disc onto wood, metal, or thick leather. The ones on the trunk in the photo (below) don't have the same design on their front as yours does, but you get the idea.

Yes, but without the data from which it was found.

That was my first thought as well, just wanted to understand the 'pin' a little more, incase it went on leather.

I must correct my previous message. I did not see that you said below one of the potos that the size of the object is 11 millimeters (approximately 3/8 of an inch). That size is too small to be a "skid disc" from a trunk or luggage. So, it is a decorative tack used to hold two pieces of leather together ...like on a saddlebag or a purse, etc. That type of leather-connector was used from Roman Empire times through the 1700s.
