    Or "The Great Seal of the United States", to be extremely accurate. Most people have no idea the Great Seal is two-sided.

    Actually it should be called "The Eye of Providence" or "the all-seeing eye of God", which has a lot less omninous meaning than the "Illuminati".

    Whatever freaks out overnight conspiracy themed radio program hosts, I'm in favor of, by default.

    That’s preferable to people who think they know what they don’t know.

    Illuminati medal. Not a coin, because of the missing denomination.

    The one in the OP appears to be a modern copy (sort of) of a medal struck in 1882 for the centennial of the Great Seal.

    I can't find pics of one I'm sure is an original, but the Mint restruck them in the 20th century.

    Barber's design had a characteristically "Barberesque" eagle on it, while the one in the OP link seems to have a modernized eagle. So it's just some modern proof widget, I reckon.
