The coin you have described is a Liberty Nickel. They were minted from 1883 to 1912.
There were 2 designs released in 1883. The first did not have the word "CENTS" on the reverse [tails] side of the coin so some people gold plated the nickels and passed them off as new $5 gold coins. The word "CENTS" was added to stop the practice.

Heads. The obverse is the front of the coin. Its opposite (the back of the coin) is the reverse.
It has a woman on the front, and trees on a beach on the back. It is a very lovely coin.
