I've never seen such buttons with German Royals on it, only coins that were worn as jewlery. Were such buttons very common to wear in those days in England?

<< <i>Cool medal. You wanna buy the rest of the set to go with it?
I think it starts getting harder after this one!
Not a medal by the way, it is a celluloid lapel badge commonly called a pin-back.
