The 1909 Abraham Lincoln Birth Centennial medal by Heeren Brothers & Co. is a commemorative medal made to honor the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth. Heeren Brothers & Co. was a jeweler and engraver located in Pittsburgh, PA.
The year 1909 marked the centennial of Lincoln's birth and was a major celebratory event across the United States. Public veneration of Lincoln as a unifying national figure led to the creation of many commemorative items, including medals, postcards, and even a new Lincoln cent released by the U.S. Mint. Heeren Brothers' medal was one of many private issues created for this occasion.
