Minting began in 1938 for this coin. The metal content has been the same for these coins except from 1942 - 1945 when they were made with a 35% silver content. Buffalo Nickels appeared before Jefferson Nickels. Before that the coin had a portrait of Miss Liberty, and prior to that an American ceremonial shield.

Whose face is on the 1912 nickel?

The 1912 nickel features the profile of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States. This design was part of the "Jefferson nickel" series, which was first issued in 1938. However, the 1912 nickel specifically refers to the Liberty Head design, which was used on the five-cent piece before the Jefferson design was introduced. The Liberty Head nickel depicts a classical representation of Liberty rather than Jefferson himself.
