is it a coin that became a button? I noticed the holes

SC:
There is little evidence of coins being used as button back then but they were holed for various other reasons - primarily to make "jewelry" including both real jewelry like neckless and bracelets and things like apotropaic "charm" bracelets for children.

It's an early "spinner"
