It has the same overall design as US nickels minted from 1938 to 2003, with Thomas Jefferson facing left on the front and an image of his house, Monticello, on the back.

The 2 major differences are that the coin is a somewhat different color than standard nickels and it has a large mint mark (P, D, or S) over Monticello's dome. The reason is that from late 1942 to 1945, US nickels were made of a special alloy of copper, silver, and manganese because nickel was needed for the war effort. To distinguish these from other nickels the mint mark position was moved, and a "P" was used for the first time on any Philadelphia-minted US coin.
