The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: Victor David Brenner's timeless portrait of President Abraham Lincoln graces the obverse, capturing the strength and dignity of America's 16th president. Lincoln's profile faces right, with the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" arcing above and "LIBERTY" positioned to the left. The date 1976 appears below, marking this special Bicentennial year. Brenner's initials "VDB" are subtly placed on Lincoln's shoulder, a detail that connects these cents to the designer's original 1909 vision.

Reverse: Frank Gasparro's Lincoln Memorial design showcases the iconic monument in stunning detail. The Memorial's columns frame a tiny representation of Daniel Chester French's seated Lincoln statue visible between the center columns. "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" curves along the top, while "E PLURIBUS UNUM" appears above the Memorial. The denomination "ONE CENT" is prominently displayed at the bottom, completing this patriotic composition that honored both Lincoln and American democracy.
