The Lincoln Cent with the Lincoln Memorial reverse design was first released in 1959, on February 12th to commemorate the sesquicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. (150th anniversary) The reverse was designed by Frank Gasparro, who won the internal competition the Mint held amongst the Mint's engravers.

The design features the Lincoln Memorial from straight on, with a tiny Lincoln Memorial statue in the center, meaning Lincoln is actually featured on both sides of the coin!
