really small button or not.

Found this yesterday it looks like a button but it's only 8mm across. It has an intriguing pattern engraved in the face with what looks like stars forming a circle around the edge. On the back it has a loop just like a button would have. I think it's made of copper. If it was 20 or 30mm it would clearly be a button but it's only the size of a press stud so it's got me wondering if anyone has any more clues.

Still a mystery from here mark ,.... is it S for Sailor, or some sort of money symbol ?

Might be off some children's clothing or doll given the size, or purely decorative vs functional, got any pics of the rear end?

They must have had some fine decorative tunics back in the 1800s.

I found this small silver button out the back of Hill End.
