2022 Niue $10 5-oz Silver Eye of Providence Ultra High Relief Gilt Antiqued Coin NGC MS70 First Day of Issue

Here’s A Coin That You’ll Want To Keep Your Eye On!

The human eye has often been called the window to one’s soul. As the body’s most symbolic sensory organ, it’s been used for centuries in both religious and secular contexts to represent clairvoyance, knowledge, and divine providence. For Americans, the notion of a divine Eye of Providence is almost as old as the nation itself, appearing for the first time in 1782 on the Great Seal of the United States. And now, on the 240th anniversary of the Great Seal, this stunning coin has been released with a mixture of jaw-dropping high relief and incuse detail that is simply amazing.

The Freemason Conspiracy And The Great Seal

How this seemingly straightforward image—an eye set within a triangle—become an integral part of the Great Seal is the subject of multiple conspiracy theories. Most commonly found today on the back of the $1 bill, the symbol has also been associated with the Freemasons. And thanks to films such as 2004’s National Treasure starring Nicolas Cage, conspiracy theories linking the Freemasons with the founding of the United States, the Eye of Providence has become the fodder of conspiracy theorists everywhere—despite the fact that the only Freemason on the design committee for the Great Seal was Benjamin Franklin and his ideas were never adopted. Nevertheless, the Eye of Providence is a lightning rod for conspiracy theorists because it is very much hidden in plain sight. Even explicit denials by many Masonic organizations have served to only fuel further conspiracy theories, because, after all, the first sign of a conspiracy is denying it, right?

Struck With Ultra High Relief Detail And Super Incuse Features

Struck in five ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, this $10 legal tender coin was released on behalf of Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean that’s famous for being the world’s largest coral atoll. It shows the iconic Eye of Providence floating above an unfinished pyramid on the reverse while the coin’s obverse depicts the Owl of Minerva clutching Eye of Providence. Both sides of this coin were struck with extraordinary Ultra High Relief (UHR) detail that towers above the surface of and magnificently accentuates the coin’s concave, bowl like fields. It also features a super incuse aspect that shows a gold-plated Eye of Providence sunk below the surface of the coin!

The coin has also been coated with a lavish antique finish that that adds incredible depth and dimension to the already Ultra High Relief designs. Typically applied by hand, this means that no two coins are exactly alike. Another unique design feature of the coin is that it has been struck with a total of 11 different symbols and inscriptions that have been—dare we say it?—“mysteriously” hidden within the obverse and reverse designs!
