Default Mystery Irish / Scottish Button
It's a mystery for me!

Couldn't find the regiment it belongs to...

Go it in Canada...

It mesures : 28mm

Motto on the front is : Audaces Juvo

On the back is inscribed : J.Croker Dame St Dublin

Thanks for the help!

Audaces Juvo means "help the brave" and is the motto of the Buchanan society,so i would suggest that it could be a clan button connected to Clan Buchanan

Might I suggest that your button is, in fact, a livery button of the Buchanan family - worn by liveried servants on their uniforms. Regards. David

Thank you all for the help...

The Vendor had many buttons... but this one was the nicest...

The other ones were well used.
