The Liberty Head nickel or which is more commonly referred to as the V nickel. This is because of the large “V” that is on its reverse. The “v” is actually the Roma numeral value of five. The V nickel was minted from 1883-1913 and replaced the Shield nickel. The V nickel’s design consists of a left-facing head of liberty, and the reverse states the face value of the coin in its roman numeral. The coin was design by int engraver Charles Barber.
