Description:
Cast copper alloy button with a beaded edge and a raised center depicting
the bust of Queen Anne (1702-1714). This example is badly corroded,
but enough of the bust is present to compare it to other buttons which
have lettering confirming the identification of the Queen (Noël
Hume 1969).
