Here's a big old button

I dug out of a river bank. I wonder if you can help settle our discussion. Would you think miliary or civilian? It is a little bigger around than a silver dollar. Backmark is Jennens & Co. London.
 
Jennens produced British military buttons with the following backmarks:
Charles Jennens. (1800-1832)
Jennens & Co London. (1832-1912)
Jennens & Co Ltd London. (1912-1924)
Say, that's a pretty button!
 
for sure. Thanks Steve, anything else you find out would be appreciated.

The veternary corp....is that the only centaur so far?

These were the buttons that were worn on the uniforms of retainers (servants). They mostly date to the 19th Century. The designs usually have some sort of symbolism or heraldic meaning.

The construction of this looks very Military. I do remember seeing a button similar that was Military ( British) but I can't remember the unit.

For some reason I keep thinking of one of the British Foresters (not forestry) units.
