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.

Why do we usually use a back titration to determine nickel in steel?

Back titration is often used to determine nickel in steel because nickel can form stable complexes that make direct titration difficult. In a back titration, an excess of a reagent that reacts with nickel is added, and the unreacted excess is then titrated with another solution. This method allows for more accurate measurements by accounting for the complexities of the reaction and the presence of other elements in the steel matrix. Additionally, it minimizes interference from other metals that may be present.
