The Lincoln Cent was designed by Victor David Brenner and he based it on his bronze plaque of Abraham Lincoln. The plaque was based on a photograph of Lincoln taken in 1864. Lincoln was facing his left in the photograph and therefore was facing his left on the bronze plaque and also facing his left on the cent. This is the only reason Lincoln faces his left on the cent.
