The date of Lincoln's birth 1809 is also included. The designer of the reverse is Richard Masters and the sculptor is Jim Licaretz.

The coin was released on February 12, 2009. The official launch ceremony was held in Hodgenville, Kentucky. An estimated 1,500 people attended and 10,000 rolls of new Log Cabin Pennies were purchased at the roll exchange.
