The Artistry Behind the Coin

Obverse: The familiar profile of President Abraham Lincoln graces the obverse, a design that has appeared on the penny since 1909. Victor David Brenner's timeless portrait captures Lincoln's dignified character and enduring legacy. The historic "P" mint mark appears below the date, marking the first time in over two centuries that Philadelphia identified its cent production with this designation.

Reverse: The Union Shield design, introduced in 2010, features a bold shield with 13 vertical stripes representing the original colonies, united by a horizontal bar across the top. This powerful symbol represents Lincoln's greatest achievement - preserving the United States as a single, unified country during the Civil War.
