The obverse of the Silver Dollar features an image of President Lincoln with the inscriptions LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, and 2009.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President, serving from 1861-1865. He was one of America's great leaders, demonstrating uncommon courage during the Civil War; one of the greatest crises in our Nation's history. Born of humble roots in Kentucky on Feb. 12, 1809, Lincoln reached the presidency through a combination of honesty, integrity, intelligence and commitment to the United States. With the firm belief that all men are created equal he led the effort to end the institution of slavery in the U.S.

Your 2009 Lincoln Commemorative Dollar Proof comes in a wooden window box measuring 4" x 5 3/8" x 1 1/4 ".
