Button ID Please?

Any info on what this is, and/or good online source for button id is appreciated. I see two lions. Writing on scroll and any backmarks have been obliterated by water. Is it a blazer button, or something more interesting? Thanks, Dan
 
...yeah, I'm stalling... <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
Pretty close match, Danin, but larger than yours...
From the link below:
>>>Set of two fantastic big 1 1/2" bronzey metal Royalty crest buttons, manufactured by BGE in the 1940's to coincide with the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The crest is the one associated with King Richard, the Lionheart, with Latin motto on the scroll underneath the double Lion crest. The shank buttons are beautifully made, and in mint carded condition. BGE is the acronym for Bailey, Green and Elger Inc. of New York, New York, a major manufacturer of buttons for the designer & garment trade before and after World War II, with all of their cards stating Originales Registered.<<<
Cool find, thanks for posting! <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
Thanks so much. You nailed it! As mentioned, the back was destroyed by (so I've learned) 50+ years of churning at the bottom of a river. Just the stub of what looks like a turret. I'm very impressed with your info--thanks again, Dan
 
...and the coronation of Elizabeth II (1953) with a grain of salt. Sounds to me like a sales job on the part of the seller of these buttons. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
