The obverse of the Return to Monticello Nickel retains the close-up portrait of Thomas Jefferson introduced in the American Bison Nickel. Designed by Joe Fitzgerald, this forward-facing likeness of Jefferson is based on an 1805 portrait by Charles Willson Peale, capturing the spirit of a visionary leader.
The Return to Monticello Nickel combines modern artistry with a classic design, making it a fitting conclusion to the Westward Journey Nickel Series. This coin serves as a timeless reminder of the rich history and architectural beauty that inspired the nation during Jefferson's time and continues to captivate coin collectors today.
