I have these, the one on the right side show a little (very little) cosmos. The color is a little more brown(red).
Forget it, found your list and you already have it.
Went through all old coins but didn’t find any not on your initial list.

We’re still trying to figure that out, I think.

@Digigu has very kindly agreed to sell me the Eevee coin they found. That makes two members who brought me “new coins” who I am grateful for. Thank you to people who continue to think of me when they come across something unusual.
I have a standing $100 offer on any “new coins” people find. This might seem egregious for something so fringe but I care a lot about procuring and preserving this underappreciated aspect of the TCG. So if you bring me a new coin like jac and Digigu did, I will give you $100 for it on sight.

Do mysterious tokens count? Ive heard some users arent sure what those are for.
Honestly, with how difficult some of these variant coins are to source, your offer is generous but on point. I hope you get to find more obscure collection pieces in the future!

Musings from our friend who discovered it:
I only found this specific coin from the USA.
So I assume it only came on the same set as the other Eevee coins.
It opens the possibility of a Eevee mirror holofoil and old wotc back existing.
Having the old wotc back appears on these Eevee coins may also make possible for older coins to have kept the same back, for example the vileplume coin. But that as yet to be confirmed as no coin as be seen yet
When I have the coin in hand I will do a write up about it and the differences. But I agree with Digigu, I think this opens the door to more coins with “old backs” compared to the revised backs used on most coins.
WotC coins were very cheap, they are basically just stickers on a cardboard base. Old bases could have still been used to produce coins until the supply ran out, resulting in undocumented variants based on production runs.

I received the Eevee today!
So what makes this Eevee interesting?
The earliest WotC flip coins were all Chansey coins, which there are numerous versions of. The main thing that sets them apart are the many variants of their reverse-face. There is the checkerboard pattern with blue text, the checkerboard pattern with black text, and a revised back with horizontal lines that looks like this:
These early Chansey flip coins were, to our knowledge, the only coins that featured the original checkerboard background. The design was transitioned to the version with the horizontal lines before any subsequent coins were produced. Chansey coins were distributed in Base Set theme decks. Vileplume and Aerodactyl were then produced for Jungle and Fossil respectively and all of those known coins have the revised background with the horizontal lines.
Eevee was distributed in the Starter Gift Box in 1999, which is a sku featuring Jungle and Base Set 2 product and was the exclusive source of the Eevee coin. By then, several coins had been produced with the revised reverse face and it is very unusual for a coin this late in the “schedule” to have the original checkerboard background.
What almost certainly happened is that WotC still had blanks of the checkerboard coin needing to be used up before the revised background became the defacto inventory. Eevee was seemingly produced using these leftover backs resulting in this rare variant.
This could mean that other coins produced in 1999, like Vileplume and Aerodactly, have variants with the “old stock” checkerboard base. This is not a guarantee, it’s possible the stock was only used for Eevee given its smaller distribution. But this is still a fun find and adds something new to look out for!
Thank you again @Digigu for bringing the coin they found to my attention and letting me add it to my collection!
