Summary edit

Description
English: GASPARRO, Frank design artwork for reverse of US Lincoln cent (Sheild)
Design submitted by Frank Gasparro c. 1958, Assistant Engraver at the Philadelphia Mint as a potential replacement for the reverse of the Wheat cent (1909–58). Gasparro would later become Chief Engraver of the US Mint. The design features a Union shield flanked by olive branches, with a bundle of arrows before the shield. Rays are seen behind the upper part of the shield, which is surrounded by 13 stars to evoke the original states.
