Have you seen a button with these images before? Its approx. 15mm diameter and mostly flat/very slight curve. Eagle, cannons, crown - Military perhaps?

Is there anything marked on the rear, might possibly be Russian artillery. I did think civil war, though the crown puts me off that idea.
 
Certainly Miltary with crossed cannons...even Napolians men had them, so not necessarily Navy unless earlier than expected.

Here's a few more sites of info.

Images just to confuse you lol...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out as soon as I get a chance. No markings on the back and the little loop where the button would have been sewn on has been long broken off.
