In 1938 U.S. Treasury officials made sure that the new Nickel would feature Jefferson on the Obverse and Monticello on the Reverse. The competition to determine this design was won by Felix Schlag, except that his version (a side-view of Jefferson’s estate) would have to be modified to show the iconic structure face-on. Thus, in 1938, Schlag’s Jefferson Nickel with a front view of Monticello on the reverse entered into circulation in the U.S. and has remained our Nickel to this day, excepting a few temporary alternate Jefferson issuances.
