The Westward Journey
Nickel Series continues with the release of the second 2004-dated
nickel. The reverse of this coin is an angled, side-view of the
keelboat with full sail that transported members of the expedition
and their supplies through the rivers of the Louisiana Territory
in search of a northwest passage to the Pacific Ocean. Built to
the specifications of Captain Lewis, the 55-foot keelboat could be
sailed, rowed, poled like a raft, or towed from the riverbank. The
design, by United States Mint sculptor/engraver Al Maletsky, will
show Captains Lewis and Clark in full uniform in the bow of the
keelboat. |

Obverse ---
The obverse of the 2006 nickel depicts a
portrait of Thomas Jefferson completed
during 1800.
The United States Mint's Artistic Infusion
Program Master Designer Jamie Franki of
Concord, North Carolina, designed the
obverse, using as his inspiration the first
Rembrandt Peale life study of Jefferson,
done in 1800.
Depicting Jefferson as Vice President at 57
years of age, just before becoming
President, this Peale portrait had a
significant iconographic role during
Jefferson's lifetime; it was frequently used
as a reference to create most of the images
by which Jefferson's contemporaries came to
know him.
The cursive "Liberty" inscription, which
debuted on the 2005 nickels, is again
presented in Jefferson's own handwriting.
The obverse was engraved by United States
Mint Sculptor-Engraver Donna Weaver.
Reverse ---
The reverse of the 2006 nickel features the
classic, familiar rendition of Monticello,
President Thomas Jefferson's Virginia home,
originally executed by artist Felix Schlag
and first chosen to adorn the coin's reverse
in 1938.
However, the 2006 reverse design is crisper
and more detailed than Americans have seen
it in recent years, having been carefully
restored by the United States Mint, guided
by Schlag's original work. Among the changes
made are:
|
|
● |
Facets of the dome of Monticello have been
restored. |
|
● |
The balconies of the building have been
reworked. |
|
● |
Relief has been restored to the detail
around the door and windows to reflect more
of Felix Schlag's original work.
|
Jefferson designed Monticello himself, and
construction began in 1768 when he was 25
years old. It was completed in 1823 when the
former President and founding father was in
his eightieth year. A skilled
horticulturalist, Jefferson also planned the
smallest details of the landscaping at
Monticello.
