Following the special Bicentennial issue in 2009, a new (third) reverse appeared on the Lincoln Cent. It featured a large shield, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA at the top rim, E PLURIBUS UNUM at the top of the shield and the denomination ONE CENT on a scroll near the bottom of the shield.

The design was described as “an image emblematic of President Lincoln’s preservation of the United States of America as a single and united country.
