the button confused me for a second

[furriner]

Very nice Roman coin - Aemilian AR antoninianus?

[Blackadder43]

I'm gonna say your button is probably a Livery button from the 1800's
Looks like a Griffin on a crown....very noble buttons
Look here for more of the same

Your coin i have no idea...i would soak it in olive oil for a few weeks...will take some of the crud off without damaging the coin

[Blackadder43]

Here is something copied and pasted about Griffens on buttons

Griffen on Duke's crown(c)

Person of noble nature, strength, bravery, and alertness; or one who is high-spirited, ingenious, quick-witted, and judicious; "True magnanimity and strength of mind" acc. to Guillim.
If wings "displayed," it signifies protection

It's going to be a tough one, the only thing I can make out on the back is a couple of letters I think

compare to this valerian and see if it's similar
