"Professional Life in Illinois"
The year 2009 was the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth, and also the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent which first appeared in 1909. There has been many design changes for the one-cent coin since 1909. There is typically a minimum requirement of 25 years between redesigns; but thanks to the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Program, there were four design changes within 2009 !
The reverse of these coins depict four different images of Lincoln's life:
- Birth and Early Childhood in Kentucky
- Formative Years in Indiana
- Professional Life in Illinois [TOTAL COIN MINTAGE: 336,000,000].
- Presidency in Washington, DC
When the 2009 Program ended, the design on the back of the one-cent coin was changed to represent the unity of the states, which President Lincoln worked so hard to restore and preserve.
