The Westward Journey Nickels were issued during the years 2004 & 2005, intended to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase and the famous expedition through the territory by Lewis and Clark. During these years, the Jefferson Nickel featured four new reverse designs and two new obverse designs. At the conclusion of the series, the second obverse design would remain permanent, while the original Monticello reverse was resumed.
The 2004 Westward Journey Nickels featured the same classic obverse design, paired with two different reverse designs. The first design was based on the Peace Medal presented to Native Americans within the Louisiana Purchase as a sign of goodwill. The second reverse depicts the Keelboat that was used for Lewis & Clark’s famous expedition.
A new obverse design was introduced for the 2005 Westward Journey Nickels. A right facing portrait of Thomas Jefferson was now used and the word “Liberty” appears in script based on Jefferson’s handwriting. The first reverse design featured an American Bison or Buffalo. The second design featured a view of the western waters and words from Clark’s famous journal entry “Ocean in view! O! The joy!”
