The design of the penny changed in 2012 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's birth. The new design featured a more detailed depiction of Lincoln on the front, while the reverse showcased the Union Shield, symbolizing the preservation of the nation. This redesign aimed to honor Lincoln's legacy and reflect a modern aesthetic while maintaining the penny's traditional significance.
