The 1938 Five Cents Nickel, commonly known as the Jefferson Nickel, showcases the profile of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. It is a significant collectible coin in United States numismatics, particularly for its transition in design and composition. In the context of the Philippines under U.S. sovereignty, the coinage during this period reflected American influences on Filipino currency, including issues like the "Half Dime" which, although typically a unique denomination, represents the era's complex historical relationship with U.S. governance. Collectors often seek these coins for their unique designs and historical significance.
