[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 7856749, member: 114169"][USER=19765]@fretboard[/USER] , I have the feeling that you are the best SME on this topic. [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1353794[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] One of the many exonumia "rabbit holes" I have found myself falling into has been the World of the tiny Lord's Prayer / George Soley medals. Picking up, appreciating, and researching these really does take one into an "Alice in Wonderland" world. Documentation on these seems to be fragmented according to all I have read here Their creation seems to be spread across much of the 1800's. I don't even know 1/10th of what more knowledgeable members here know about these, and research really is a [B]"one pill makes you smaller"[/B] experience. Above is a Lord's Prayer medal that I found unusual and intriguing. In my research, I have seen lots of Washington's, Columbian, and Architectural obverses. This one however, is the first I have encountered. At the top of the undated obverse is [B]The All Seeing Eye[/B] - a familiar device found across much of our currency from the founding of our nation up until today. Popular with the "Illuminatti . . . . . " In the center an image of the [B]Triple Link Fellowship[/B] - a familiar logo for the IOOF or International Order of Odd Fellows. At the bottom of the obverse is the Skull and Crossbones - a familiar device of pirates, poisons, "memento-mori" themes, and some attribution to the "Illuminatti" . . . . . This piece has a weakly struck reverse and some environmental damage, but most of the original gold gilt remains. I am interested in finding out more about this piece. Has anyone seen it's equal?
