02 · DESIGN & ISSUE NOTES
The mint mark, when present, is located on the reverse, beside Monticello; the original Felix Schlag portrait remains on the obverse.
Design continuity: the original Jefferson obverse remained in use through 2004. The usual Monticello reverse was replaced by the 2004 Westward Journey designs for that year.
Historical mintage note: 13,560,000 is the figure in the linked Jefferson Nickel Mintage compilation. Different catalogues can include Proofs or other variants differently; this page does not present a market valuation.
