    On January 27, 2012, visited a Quartsite, AZ swap-meet and found this button in an old glass display case. The button is inscribed: Tyrol Anno Domini 1393. When Google searching on Tyrol Anno Domini, the year 1809 is prominent on buttons. Haven't found anything yet with 1393.

      The 1809 versions are linked to the Battle of Wörgl ..... May 13, 1809.

      I believe the button might refers to the Convenant of Sempach (Sempachbrief) a treaty signed on July 10 1393.

      Vetraio50, Thanks for the interesting information on the inscription of the button!

      I found exactly the same coin dated 1393, it's worth anything?
      If you interested, please contact me at aurbanski@gmx.co.uk

      No idea what the coin (or button) is worth. I collect vintage buttons, so not really interested in the coin. But thank you for the offer.
