On the obverse, a detailed profile of Abraham Lincoln faces right. This side of the coin features the word LIBERTY to the left of the president, the date 1917 with the D mint mark below it on the right, and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST arching along the top rim. The reverse of the coin presents a simple yet iconic design featuring two stylized wheat ears framing the central text. The inscriptions clearly display the denomination ONE CENT, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA positioned just below. This combination of classic imagery and clear lettering makes the 1917-D cent an intriguing piece for anyone exploring the history of United States currency.
