COIN

The image shows a 1943 steel cent, commonly known as a steel penny, which was minted in the United States. The front (obverse) side of this circular coin features a profile portrait of Abraham Lincoln facing right. Above Lincoln’s head is the phrase “IN GOD WE TRUST,” with the word “LIBERTY” inscribed to the left of the portrait, and the year "1943" alongside a small "D" mint mark on the right, denoting it was produced at the Denver Mint. The coin appears to have a metallic silver hue, characteristic of the zinc-coated steel used during that year due to copper shortages during World War II.
