| 背面描述 | The central device depicts a clasped handshake between a Native American and a Euro-American figure, symbolizing the peace and friendship diplomacy associated with the Lewis and Clark Expedition following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. A crossed tomahawk and peace pipe appear above the handshake, referencing the diplomatic gifts exchanged during the expedition. The arc legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and LOUISIANA PURCHASE curve along the upper rim, with the commemorative date 1803 inscribed in the upper central field. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM appears in two lines in the lower central field, with FIVE CENTS arcing along the bottom rim. The engraver's initials NEN are visible to the lower right of the central device. |

The 2004 Louisiana Purchase nickel was the first release in the Westward Journey Nickel Series, a congressionally authorized program marking the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Congress had directed the Mint to alter the nickel's reverse for the first time since 1938 — a significant bureaucratic hurdle given that Felix Schlag's original design had acquired near-untouchable status over six decades of uninterrupted production.
The Louisiana Purchase itself was the underlying occasion: Jefferson's acquisition of approximately 828,000 square miles from Napoleonic France in 1803 for roughly $15 million, a transaction of debatable constitutional standing that Jefferson himself privately acknowledged exceeded his executive authority.
