The Artistry Behind the Coin
Obverse: Victor David Brenner's iconic portrait of Abraham Lincoln graces the obverse, capturing the resolute profile of America's 16th president. The word LIBERTY arcs above Lincoln's head, while IN GOD WE TRUST appears to his left, and the year of minting sits prominently to the right. This design, introduced in 1909, was the first U.S. circulating coin to feature a historical figure.
Reverse: The reverse showcases two graceful wheat stalks framing the words ONE CENT and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, with E PLURIBUS UNUM arching across the top. This elegant agricultural motif symbolized America's agrarian heritage and remained a beloved design element for nearly half a century.
