Note sure about the button but those are some nice pictures.
What camera are you using?

Pretty sure you found a cast pewter Spanish real button somewhat similar to this one.

Not a common find, but not a really rare one either.

Wow. That does look like it. Nice job! What throws me off is the lettering around the top. I'll try and see if I can make out the letters.

In 2013 I found a lead mold that would have created a button like that.
