- artist
- Gasparro, Frank
- Description (Brief)
- Gasparro drew and redrew his ideas until he produced that one image chosen to grace a coin. Here, on a refined view of the reverse for the Lincoln Memorial cent, is a mark where eventually the coin will display the second image of President Lincoln. The first image is Victor David Brenner's famous 1909 portrait on the obverse. The Lincoln Memorial cent was the first coin to have a portrait of the same person on both sides.
