They're the initials of Felix Schlag, the coin's designer.
Schlag had a dispute with the Mint over the original design for the coin and his initials were not shown until 1966. In 2006, when the new permanent portrait of Jefferson was put on the front of the nickel FS was moved to the reverse side which continues to show his picture of Monticello.
