If I understand the question. The change to the reverse of the Lincoln cent in 2009 was done as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial of his birth and to recognize the 100th anniversary of the first (1909) Lincoln cent. 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.
