Absolutely! The Lincoln Memorial design had been used for 50 years so the Mint decided to retire that design in favor of the new shield reverse. The image is taken from the Union Shield that was created during the Civil War, so it's a fitting complement to Lincoln's portrait on the front of the coin.
