The obverse (front) of a US nickel has the portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The reverse (back) of the coin for most years has an image of Jefferson's home called Monticello.
The only exceptions were 2004 and 2005 when special reverse designs were used to honor the 200th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
