This I have had one person say may be Portuguese but I can't find any other examples. Does anyone have any info on the 14th Portuguese maybe who fought in the peninsular war?

You have given us less than half the available information.
Please supply a picture of the button's reverse.

The back dates the button 1815-1825.
This was a period of unrest in Portugal.

looking around the web I found a DNW sale from 2009 of Buttons from the J.R. Gaunt and Son Pattern Book Archive and it had this 14th listed as a Spanish button from the peninsula period.
