This coin is a 2016 Jefferson Nickel, which is part of the United States currency and falls under the denomination of five cents. It was minted at the Philadelphia Mint and carries the 'P' mint mark, signifying its origin. The coin is primarily made of Copper-Nickel, a common material for modern U.S. coins. In terms of physical characteristics, the coin has a diameter of approximately 21.2 millimeters and a weight of 5 grams. Although the specified width and height values are listed as 0, this is likely a standard measurement inconsistency for coins which are typically uniform in thickness. The 2016 Jefferson Nickel is classified as a mint strike, indicating it was produced through the typical minting process rather than being an error or proof coin. It has no reported mintage figures, which suggests that this specific coin might have limited availability. While it circulates as legal tender in the United States, its collectible value is primarily determined by its condition and demand among coin collectors. Overall, this coin is a contemporary example of American numismatic history, reflecting the long-standing tradition of the Jefferson Nickel series commemorating Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States.
