For the year 2006, the U.S. Mint has named the nickel a Return to Monticello. The new obverse image of Jefferson is based on a famous Rembrandt Peale portrait of the future president painted in 1800. The inscriptions include the words "Liberty", in Jefferson's own handwriting, is inscribed above the date and "In God We Trust,"
The reverse of the coin is a return to the basic original design of Felix Schlag however; the Monticello mansion has been given a face lift with quality detailing that was missing from the original. The inscriptions on the reverse included "E Pluribus Unum," the name "Monticello," the coin's denomination "Five Cents," and "United States of America".
