    IMG_2361.JPG My father found this while digging some land here in Iowa, and he is unsure of what it is. He says its made of a magnetic metal, and is a little bigger than a quarter. He is unsure if it is a coin, or button. . Any insight would be appreciated!

    Could be a button or type of token. What's the other side of it look like?

    The other side is just flat. No design.

    Maybe it was a pendant....
    Any evidence the loop is missing?

    Does the back look like it ever had a stem or any attachment points?

    Acanthus design in the center,six flowers around the center,six spiral limbs from center with three having the same patterns.No location about where it was found,possibly a betting token.

    If it were for a horse, it would be brass instead of steel. Brass doesn't rust when it gets wet. It might be a decoration off of a chest or something similar.
