Hello Wisconsin!
Is the Commonwealth a button? If so what is the backmark? I have the same button with a backmark of AMP BOSTON and it was made by Aaron Merrill Peasley out of Boston between 1810 abd 1823. This button has also been atributed to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery.

Yes Dan, I'm sure the other one is a button. Its concave and has the shank on the back. I was just looking through a canadian coin book I have from 1963 and found the Brock token. Pretty interesting...
