All early US Coins, regardless of denomination, carried portraits of Miss Liberty.

The practice of putting other pictures on coins didn't begin until the middle of the 19th century, and the first coin that carried the picture of a historical figure only came out in the early 20th century: the famous and familiar Lincoln cent was released near the end of 1909.
