There is a thorough web page on the Great Seal of the United States at Ask.com. The medallion in the picture above, is the one you are bidding on here. It is a replica of the seal commissioned in 1882, the 100th anniversary of the seal's adoption.
The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over umankind (ordivine providence). In the modern era, the most notable depiction of the eye is the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, which appears on the United States one-dollar bill. In 1782, the Eye of Providence was adopted as part of the symbolism on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States.
