James B. Longacre, who served as Chief Engraver at the United States Mint from 1844 until his death in 1869, designed 1903 Indian Head pennies. Interestingly, the Indian Head pennies don’t feature a Native American at all. In fact, the “Indian” on this penny is actually a Caucasian representative portrait of Miss Liberty, who in this case was modeled after Longacre’s daughter, Sarah. As a sidenote, Longacre also designed the U.S. two-cent piece, which in 1864 became the first coin to bear the motto IN GOD WE TRUST.
