This button was likely worn by a commissioned officer in the Royal Navy during the 19th century. The button formed an important part of naval dress and rank distinction.

The obverse of the button features a stamped crown and fouled anchor motif enclosed within a rope-twist border. This combination of symbols is characteristic of Royal Naval uniform buttons and reflects long-standing maritime imagery.

The reverse bears the mark “Treble Gilt”, indicating that the button was finished with a high-quality gold-plated coating applied in three layers. This finish was typically reserved for officers’ uniforms.
