This deck, c1890, was the first Treasury #89. It had this special joker with, I believe, images of real US coins. Can anyone provide more info on the coins?
The first coin is a Liberty Seated Dimes : http://cointrackers.com/coins/13881/1890-liberty-seated-dime/http://coinresearch.com/liberty-seated-dimes/I think that the coin of the middle is just a symbol of the factory for this deck and did not really exist, even if the eagle looks like the one who is on this coin : http://www.usacoinbook.com/coins/gold-10-eagle/coronet-head/

I am curious to know if the Treasury #89 US18-1 was published with a different back (especially the well known with the angels in corners) from the one that shows Tom, because of the same symbols on the Back and the Joker : the eagle and the shield. Would anybody have information ?

Would anybody have information ?Well, I can't really answer that, but I can say that the eagle and shield were very common motifs for US currency in the late 19th-century and heading into the 20th.
