The 2009 penny features the image of the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse side, which has been a staple design for the penny since 1959. The Lincoln Memorial design commemorates the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. This design was part of the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Program, which featured four different reverse designs in 2009 to honor different aspects of Lincoln's life and legacy.

It's Abe Lincoln in Kentucky. This from the US Mint website: The four designs to be featured on the reverse of the Lincoln pennies represent four major aspects of President Lincoln's life: his birth and childhood in Kentucky, his formative years in Indiana, his professional life in Illinois and his Presidency in Washington, D.C. The inscriptions on the reverse of the coins will be "United States of America," "E Pluribus Unum" and "One Cent."
