The coin was designed by artist Lyndall Bass. The Mint's sculptor-engraver Joseph Menna converted the design into the sculpture used to make dies that strike the coins. The shield is the so-called Union Shield that was used as a symbol during the Civil War.
Modern day pennies began using the shield in 2010.

In 2008, all British circulating coins had a redesigned reverse. When one of each of the six "Pence" coins is arranged correctly, the composite design shows the Royal Shield. That part of the shield visible on the Penny coin shows the bottom left part of the shield representing England, and the top left part of the shield representing Northern Ireland.

It's still a Lincoln cent, not a Union penny. After the 2009 Bicentennial, the reverse was changed to the Union Shield as a symbolic image of Lincoln's preservation of the USA as a United, Single country.
