Background
The Presidency in Washington, DC Lincoln Penny is the fourth and final coin in the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Program. In 2009, the U.S. Mint issued four different pennies throughout the year in recognition of the bicentennial (200th anniversary) of Lincoln’s birth and centennial (100th anniversary) of the first year of the Lincoln cent. The themes on the reverses represent the four major aspects of Lincoln’s life.
Presidency in Washington, DC (1861-1865)
On this coin, the U.S. Capitol building’s dome is still under construction, as it was during Lincoln’s term in office. The dome continued to rise as the Civil War raged and the Union struggled to remain united.
The war began just after Lincoln took office in 1861. During his second year as president, Lincoln declared all slaves free in the rebel territory through the Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln was elected for a second term in 1864 and the war finally came to an end the following year.
Just five days after the war ended, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated while watching a play in Washington. Army doctors worked all night to save him, but he died the next morning at the age of 56. Before he was buried in Springfield, Illinois, his body lay in state, visited by thousands of mourners, under the Capitol’s newly-completed dome.
Characteristics
The obverse (heads) shows the familiar Victor David Brenner likeness of President Abraham Lincoln used on the penny since 1909.
The reverse (tails) features the half finished United States Capitol dome.
