1 oz American Legends - Abraham Lincoln Copper Round

The American Legends Copper round pays tribute to the US Penny and Abraham Lincoln who is featured on it. When Abraham Lincoln was first featured on the Penny in 1909 it was a break in US minting tradition which did not feature busts or faces of historical figures. However, due to Lincoln's incredible popularity, on the 100th anniversary of his birth it was decided to make an exception. The American Legends round is a replica of the penny designed by Victor D. Brenner in 1909 (obverse), with a modification in 2010 and Lyndall Bass (reverse).

The obverse features the Victor Brenner bust of Abraham, as modified in 2010 and the words "In God We Trust Liberty 1832" and the symbol of minter, Elemetal Capital.

The reverse features the Union Shield, a kite shield with vertical stripes of alternating colours. The Words "999 Fine Copper One Ounce" are engraved on the shield and accompanying scroll and the words "American Legends" appear above.

In multiples of 20 these rounds will be shipped in a clear plastic tube.
