Obverse description Left-facing bust of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States, rendered in high relief after Felix Schlag's original design. The legend IN GOD WE TRUST appears to the left of the effigy, while LIBERTY is inscribed to the right, followed by a five-pointed star and the date. The portrait is modeled in a classical style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century American coinage, with Jefferson's coat and collar rendered in fine detail.
