The Westward Journey Nickel Series is a captivating collection of coins that celebrates two pivotal moments in American history: the Louisiana Purchase and the Lewis and Clark expedition. Issued in 2004 and 2005, this series features four unique designs that capture the spirit of exploration and discovery. The "Peace Medal" nickel, the first in the series, bears the image of the medal presented to Native American tribes during the expedition, symbolizing peace and friendship. Following this, the "Keelboat" nickel showcases the mode of transportation that facilitated the explorers' journey through the rivers of the newly acquired territory. In 2005, the series introduced a new obverse portrait of Thomas Jefferson, acknowledging his instrumental role in the Louisiana Purchase and the commissioning of the exploratory mission. The reverse side of the coins further honors the expedition with the "American Bison" nickel, representing the wildlife encountered, and the "Ocean in View" nickel, capturing the joy of reaching the Pacific Ocean. These coins not only commemorate historical milestones but also reflect the nation's journey towards expansion and progress.
