Please look at the building on the back of the coin. It's an image of the Lincoln Memorial. If you have ever been there or seen a close-up picture, you'll see that there is an enormous statue of Mr. Lincoln seated in the center of the monument. The small image in the center of the coin is an attempt to represent that same statue.

∙ 13y agoYes and no. Cents were minted from 1959 to 2008 with the Lincoln memorial on the reverse of the US penny. However, in 2009, there were 4 different designs showing Lincoln's life and from 2010 and through the near future, coins have the Union Shield on them. However, most Lincoln cents in circulation show the Memorial on the reverse.
