U.S. Nickel Coin Design Featuring Monticello - Historical & Numismatic Details #189079 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing replicates the reverse side of the United States five-cent coin (nickel), introduced in 1938 to honor Thomas Jefferson. It prominently features Monticello, his neoclassical mansion near Charlottesville, Virginia, encircled by the inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “MONTICELLO,” “FIVE CENTS,” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.” The design has undergone minor modifications over time but remains one of the longest-running coin motifs in U.S. currency history.

Used on educational, numismatic, or historical web pages discussing U.S. coinage, Jefferson’s legacy, or Monticello’s cultural significance; ideal for articles, museum exhibits, or collector resources where visual clarity of coin details is essential.
