How to Create the Button
Step 1.
First let's create the document.
Width: 600 px
Height: 600 px
Units: Points
Color Mode: CMYK (under advanced options)
Raster Effects: High (300 ppi)
Then click Create.

Step 2.
We're going to create the outer circle for our button first. Using the Ellipse Tool, click once on the artboard to open this window.
Give this ellipse values of:
Width: 400 px
Height: 400px
Then click OK.
Picture

​Step 3.

Go to Window > Gradient to open the Gradient Panel. Give the circle a linear gradient at -90° using these values:
1. C= 0 M=100 Y=100 K=0
2. C=15 M=100 Y=90 K=30
Picture

Step 4.
Let's add the smaller circle, using the Ellipse Tool click once on the artboard and enter these values:
Width: 350 px
Height: 350 px
Picture

Step 5.
As with Step 3, we're going to give the circle a linear gradient fill, this time at 90°, using these colour values:
1. C=0 M=100 Y=100 K=0
2. C=15 M=100 Y=90 K=30
Picture

Step 6.
First make sure that the smaller ellipse is in front of the larger one, then centre the two circles to create the image below.

Step 7.
To add a drop shadow, select the larger circle only, then go to Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow and use these values:
Mode: Multiply
Opacity: 75%
X Offset: 7 px
Y Offset: 7 px
Blur: 5 px
Then click OK.
