Obverse Description
Felix Schlag's portrait of Jefferson, facing left, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on the left periphery, and LIBERTY * 1942 on the right side.
Reverse Description
The Jefferson home is prominently centered with the name MONTICELLO captioned below. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out in half circle underneath and the words E PLURIBUS UNUM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA appear at the top and bottom periphery. For the coins minted during WWII, the mintmark appears with a large letter above Monticello, to better designate these coins for their silver content.
