Jefferson nickels feature the side profile of former US President Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello, Jefferson’s home, on the reverse. Nickels were minted of a copper-nickel alloy from 1942-1945, with wartime shortages of copper from the Pacific front pushing the nickel content to 35%.
