Beautiful original 7 x 9.5 bronze plaque featuring the iconic profile of Abraham Lincoln by sculptor Victor David Brenner, featuring the same portrait of the president used on the Lincoln Cent. The bottom features the legend, "Abraham Lincoln, 1809–1865," and the lower right is stamped, "Copyright 1907 by V. D. Brenner." The bronze plaque is mounted on an 8.5 x 11 green marble slab, with a hinged bronze stand on the reverse. In fine condition, with light surface rubbing affecting the end of Brenner's surname. Brenner's portrait of Lincoln was immortalized on the American penny in 1909; those minted in San Francisco and bearing his initials (VDB) have achieved fame as the rarest type of penny.
