The obverse design for the "Return to Monticello" nickel depicts a portrait of Thomas Jefferson completed during the year in which he was elected as our Nation's third President.

The obverse design was created by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Jamie Franki of Concord, North Carolina, using as his inspiration the first Rembrandt Peale life study of Jefferson, done in 1800. The reverse design is crisper and more detailed than Americans have seen it in recent years, having been carefully restored by the United States Mint, using Schlag's original work.
