In 1938 the nickel
was redesigned. Entering a competition with 390 artists,
Felix Schlag captured an award of $1,000 for his motif
picturing Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and a corner
view of Jefferson's home, Castle Monticello, on the
reverse.
In the final production
design, the profile of Monticello was changed to a front
view.
The finished product depicted a head and shoulders portrait
of Jefferson facing left, with IN GOD WE TRUST to the
left and LIBERTY and the date to the right. The reverse
depicted Monticello at the center, E PLURIBUS UNUM above,
and inscriptions of MONTICELLO, FIVE CENTS, and UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA below.
