This nickel represents a denomination of five cents, or half a dime, and is part of the Jefferson Nickels series that has been in circulation since 1938. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel alloy, maintaining a weight of 5.00 grams. With a diameter of 21.21 mm, this nickel is a standard size for US coins and features a distinct design that pays homage to the founding father Thomas Jefferson. In 2013, the US Mint produced approximately 615.6 million of these nickels, ensuring ample supply for circulation.

Overall, this nickel exemplifies a standard piece of American currency from the early 21st century.
