Background
In 2009, the United States Mint issued four different pennies throughout the year in recognition of the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth and centennial of the first year of the Lincoln cent. The themes on the reverses represent the four major aspects of Lincoln’s life.
Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky (1809-1816)
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in a small log cabin like the one shown on this one-cent coin.
