I think folks will be tempted to say it's a coin.....but I'll say a button ,and a royal one at that. I would also like to know the significance of the D.G. and .F.? Pete

And you're absolutely right, Pete, but I need to know what this button fastened!
(I'll find out about the initials...)

It is a military button? It has a loop at the back and you put pins through the loop and through the jacket?

Not military, no. It has a 'loop' on the back through which it is sewn onto clothing.

Not a cap and nothing remotely military, but otherwise you're guessing well! It's ... sort of button-sized...
