Notes:
This reverse design was beautifully executed by the renowned sculptor Bertram Mackennal whose initials are subtly placed on the coin's obverse base. The 1929 penny belongs to a specific design phase often called the modified effigy period which adjusted the relief depth to prevent uneven wear during heavy pocket circulation.
