1988 U.S. Nickel Coin - Obverse and Reverse Design Details #3691686 (License: Personal Use)

The obverse of the 1988 nickel features a right-facing bust of Thomas Jefferson, designed by Felix Schlag, with “Liberty” and “In God We Trust” along the rim and the year “1988.” The reverse shows Monticello, Jefferson’s Virginia estate, with “E Pluribus Unum,” “Monticello,” “Five Cents,” and “United States of America” encircling it. This design remained largely unchanged from 1938 until 2004, when the Westward Journey series began.

This image is commonly used on numismatic websites, coin collector blogs, educational pages about U.S. currency, and auction listings to illustrate the standard Jefferson nickel design. It serves users seeking visual identification, historical context, or valuation guidance for circulated or uncirculated 1988 nickels.
