I have been studying original British Military Uniforms of the first quarter of the 19th C for about 25 years now. Among these are a jacket of the Glasgow Volunteer Rifles c1820 at the Scottish War Museum, and a 95th Rifles Officer's jacket c1812 at the Royal Green Jackets Museum at Winchester.
This coat shows stylistic elements which would lead me to date it c1820 or later. The curve of the outer rows of buttons is consistent with the style prevalent in the 1820s, as is the sharply pointed front waist. The use of the button stand (i.e. the extension to the centre front which causes the 'step' at the bottom of the collar) is a feature which doesn't appear until well after the period in question. Likewise the extra material at the sleeve head / wing causing the wing to stand proud is a feature which became popular during the 20s, and the width of the shoulder is greater than that popular c1812.
The cut of the back panel is very indicative of the period of the coat the very narrow backs fashionable in 1812 had given way to a wider back with s narrower back armscye by the late teens and onwards.
