The Peace Medal
Nickel was struck by the U.S. Mint in commemoration of the Louisiana
Purchase, and Lewis and Clark’s expedition. It was then clad in 24 karat
Pure Gold by the Morgan Mint. The obverse bears the likeness of President
Jefferson.
- The reverse on the 2004 Jefferson Nickel
features a rendition of the original Indian Peace Medal commissioned for
Lewis and Clark’s expedition, bearing the likeness of America’s third
president on one side, and symbols of peace and friendship on the other.
The medals were presented to Native American chiefs and other important
leaders as tokens of goodwill at treaty signings and other events.
- The design, by United States Mint
sculptor/engraver Norman E. Nemeth, features two hands clasped in
friendship - one with a military uniform cuff, symbolizing the American
government, and the other with a silver band adorned with beads and a
stylized American eagle, representing the Native American community with
whom the United States sought good relations.
- Comes with CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY!
- Coin arrives in a Protective Capsule!
