It certainly is in the style of a mess dress vest (waistcoat) button. The 88th Connaught Rangers had a very similar vest button with CR in the same letter style. I think that what you have might be a vest button from the pre-1881 49th (Princess Charlotte of Wales’s) Hertfordshire Regiment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/49th...giment_of_Foot. However, that is pure speculation on my part.
