Jefferson Nickels are five-cent coins produced by the United States Mint, featuring a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. The 1996 Philadelphia mint coin is part of the long-running Jefferson Nickel series, which began in 1938. Coins minted in Philadelphia feature a "P" mintmark, and the 1996 date is significant as it represents a year of consistent production for this classic design. Collectors often seek out coins in uncirculated or proof conditions for their collections.
