    • The street common name for the coin is Indian Head Penny. Columbia, now commonly called Lady Liberty is wearing a bonnet hat of feathers, a juxtaposition of a woman wearing a warrior's headdress. Many times the designers of coins did this to demonstrate liberty. Columbia is the female national personification of the United States of America. A masculine high warrior and a playful femininely fertile young country. Many countries had a female character to portray Libertas the Roman goddess and personification of liberty. She has appeared on Roman coins and many descendants in many countries such as Britannia, Gallia, Zealandia, Marianne, Helvetia, etc..
    • Obverse-side Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA LIBERTY (year)
    • Obverse-side Design Images: Lady Liberty looking west is not wearing a Phrygian cap, an emblem of the emancipated slave, but is wearing a feathered tiara headdress.
    • Reverse-side Text: ONE CENT
    • Reverse-side Design Images: A Laurel Leaf made of Oak Leaf & Nut Branch, Olive Fruit & Leaf Branch, American Shield, Arrows, Ribbon
    • In general this design was minted from 1859 to 1909.
    • The main artwork designer was James Barton Longacre, born August 11, 1794 and died January 1, 1869.
    • According to the designer he used a Crouching Venus Hellenistic statue as a model for the portrait of Lady Liberty. Folklore & Gossip says it was his daughter.
    • Libertas, Latin for Liberty, is the Roman goddess and embodiment of liberty. A definition of Liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views.
    • A typical Indian Head Penny (one-cent piece) measures about ¾ of an inch in diameter
    • The One-cent Coin was minted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with no mint mark and in San Francisco, California with an S on the reverse bottom. However in 1905 they only minted one-cent coins in Philadelphia.
    • In 1909 she was taken and replaced with an old man looking east on the coin. 1909 was the year Corporate tax started and Congress proposed the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution, ratified years later to tax an individual's income. Gone was Columbia's liberty, innocence, and freedom.
