2005-P Jefferson Nickel Ocean in View BU
In 2005, the United States Mint released a distinctive five cent piece as part of a series marking the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this copper-nickel coin features a modern obverse design showcasing a portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The legendary mottoes of Liberty and Trust accompany his likeness, alongside the year of issue and the P mint mark. The reverse of this coin captures a pivotal moment of discovery, presenting a scenic view of the ocean meeting a tree-lined shore. This imagery represents the expedition's triumphant arrival at the Pacific. Legible inscriptions on the reverse include the phrase "Ocean in view! O! The joy!" which translates the historic excitement of reaching the coast, alongside the denomination of five cents and the names of the famous explorers.
