Default Unknown buttons, Napoleon era?

Hello guys

I have shown one of the buttons before, but no one could give me any information. Now I found a similar one while metal detecting another field in Lower Saxony, Germany. I have found multiple french und british buttons from the Napoleon era before, so I thought these ones might be from the same time.

They are round about 19 mm wide. Can't read the lettering, except for the "2" of course. Does anyone have any idea? About the crone maybe?

Thanks
