Any information is appreciated.
The only lettering I see is ‘GILT’.
The center seems to be plugged with a different colored metal.
I don’t see anything on the reverse, so it was either uniface, or worn/rubbed off.
The diameter and thickness is comparable to a US Lincoln cent.

    It might have once been a button.

    That never occurred to me, but I suppose that is very possible.
    I wonder if it was mounted in clasp for attaching to material.

    Definitely a button. You might ask on the metal detecting forum, buttons are a common find and are pretty well studied.

    We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.
