U.S. One-Cent Coin Reverse Design - Shield Motif & Inscriptions #3799415 (License: Personal Use)

This reverse design of the U.S. Lincoln cent, introduced in 2010, showcases a heraldic shield with vertical stripes representing the original 13 states, topped by the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” A flowing banner across the shield boldly states “ONE CENT,” while the initials “LB” (Lyndall Bass) and “JFM” (Joseph Menna) denote the designers. The coin’s copper-plated zinc composition and precise relief give it a distinctive warm tone and tactile depth.
