2005 Jefferson - Westward Journey Nickel - Bison / Buffalo Reverse - Beautifully Golden Toned

Buffalo Nickels were produced from 1913 to 1938. In 1938 it was replaced by the Jefferson nickel.

In 2004 and 2005 the Jefferson reverse changed from the historical Monticello to commemorate an event. This series of four different nickels is called The Westward Journey Nickels. The American Bison Nickel is the third of four coins in the series.

Obverse (heads): The design bears a new likeness of Thomas Jefferson based on a bust of Jefferson by Jean-Antoine Houdon. The "Liberty" inscription is based upon Jefferson's own handwriting

Reverse (tails): Features the American bison, recognizing the Native Americans and wildlife encountered by the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Offered coins hand painted with the appearance of a gold plated coin. To be clear, there is no gold content in the coating, and is merely for decorative purposes. A nice addition to a collection, as a gift, party favors or whatever your imagination may conjure up.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
