The "Union Shield" theme was first issued this design in 2010. The obverse (heads) shows the image of President Abraham Lincoln used on the penny since 1909. The shield on the reverse (tails) represents Lincoln's preservation of the United States as a single country.
Obverse Description
Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date positioned on the right side.
Reverse Description
A shield with the words E PLURIBUS UNUM is centered with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the top periphery and ONE cent in a ribbon across the shield.
