The US 1914 Cent, designed by Victor D. Brenner, continued the Lincoln Wheat Cent series during a time of growing global unrest. As World War I began in Europe, the US 1914 Cent symbolized American stability and democratic values. Its bronze composition remained unchanged, reflecting a steady economy before the U.S. entered the war.
The US 1914 Cent’s design, with Lincoln’s portrait, emphasized national unity during shifting political landscapes. Brenner’s work on the US 1914 Cent was a tribute to leadership amid global tension. The US 1914 Cent served as both currency and subtle political statement in a rapidly changing world.
