Default N. Devon button

Going through my early buttons.
This specimen dates to c. 1800 and retains most of its gilt, especially on the front. Flat, one-piece, 1" dia.
One should note that the strap is inscribed "N. DEVON", the centre has Roman numerals "XI", and there is no crown. Not found in Parkyn.
Backmark "I. NUTTING. KING ST. COVENT GARDEN"

Comments welcome, especially as to time frame.
