2006-S Jefferson Nickel Gem Proof (Return to Monticello)
The year 2006 marked an important moment for the United States five cent piece, showcasing a refined visual presentation of one of the nation's most recognizable coin designs. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this modern issue is presented in stunning Gem Proof quality, a finish that highlights the sharp contrast between the frosted details and the deep, mirror-like background fields. The obverse of the coin features a forward-facing portrait of Thomas Jefferson. This expressive likeness is accompanied by the classic inscriptions of national identity and belief, including the word Liberty, the motto IN GOD WE TRUST, the year 2006, and the S mint mark signifying its San Francisco origin. On the reverse, the design returns to a detailed depiction of Monticello, the historic Virginia estate of Thomas Jefferson. The elegant neoclassical home is rendered with remarkable clarity, framed by the traditional inscriptions E PLURIBUS UNUM, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the denomination of FIVE CENTS.
