"The Return of the Monticello"
KM# 381, Copper-Nickel

The "Return to Monticello" is the end of the Westward Journey Nickel Series after four other reverse design in 2004 and 2005 and back to the original Monticello reverse of 2003 and before. Monticello is Thomas Jefferson's home. The 2006 design is more elaborate than the previous one. The likeness of Thomas Jefferson is based on the 1800 painting when he was about 57 years old before he became the 3rd American President. The "Liberty" inscription is again based on the original handwriting of Thomas Jefferson.
