A small-format Metropolitan Police button bearing the Queen’s Crown, dating from the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Buttons of this type were used on various items of police uniform during the post-1953 period, reflecting the long-established traditions and insignia of the Metropolitan Police while incorporating the sovereign’s crown as a mark of authority and service to the Crown.
The button features the crowned centre, with a circlet reading “Metropolitan Police”, struck in chromed metal and finished for uniform wear. Its 17mm size indicates use on lighter garments or ancillary items rather than greatcoats, where larger buttons were typically employed.
