Westward Journey NickelsIn 2004 and 2005 the U.S. Mint commemorated the bicentennials of the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition with the Westward Journey Nickel Series. The Louisiana Purchase/Peace Medal Nickel is the first of four coins in the series.
The obverse depicts the portrait of Thomas Jefferson designed by Felix Schlag used on the nickel since 1938. The reverse features a rendition of the reverse of the original Jefferson Peace Medal designed by John Reich in 1801. The medals were presented to Native American chiefs and other important leaders as tokens of goodwill at treaty signings and other events. The Lewis and Clark expedition carried these medals on their journey.
