As a part of the Jefferson Nickels series, it is a five-cent coin made of a copper-nickel alloy, weighing 5 grams and featuring a diameter of 21.2 millimeters. The total mintage for this particular year was 406,084,135 coins, indicating a relatively high production level. The Jefferson Nickel was first introduced in 1938 and has become a staple of American coinage, known for its distinctive design that features the profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and an image of Monticello on the reverse. The 1993 version is appreciated by collectors and casual numismatists alike, although its commonality due to high mintage means that it typically circulates at face value. Overall, the 1993 Denver minted Jefferson Nickel is a classic American coin that reflects both the historical significance of its design and the craftsmanship of U.S. minting during that period.
