The Lincoln Memorial is an American national monument built to honor the 16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln.

To the east of the memorial sits the Washington Monument, with the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the largest such pool in the city, stretching out between the two structures.
The design of the Lincoln Memorial was based on the Greek Parthenon, with thirty-six exterior columns representing the thirty-six states in the Union at the time of Lincoln’s death. The names of those states are carved into the area above the columns.

This coin is an excellent find for not only the condition, but for what the coin represents; America, a movement that was once determined to cut away from the Royal power, is now being honored hundreds of years later with this coin. This two-sided coin is symbolic of the two world powers that, though are individual in government and citizenship, come together as crucial members of the world in which we live.
