The obverse featured a portrait of Lincoln, while the reverse showed the denomination flanked by two ears of wheat. The coin's designer, Victor David Brenner added his initials to the reverse, creating a wave of criticism from the public. The mint Immediately removed the initials only to add them again in 1918. At that time, initials appeared in small letters at the truncation of the bust.
