| 表面の説明 | A heraldic shield occupies the center of the field, displaying a horizontal lined chief above vertical stripes in the base, flanked on either side by ornate scrollwork and a leafy branch with buds. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST curves along the upper legend in Latin letters. The date is positioned at the bottom of the field, below the shield. The overall design, engraved by James B. Longacre, reflects a bold patriotic aesthetic characteristic of post-Civil War American coinage. |

The rays between the stars on the reverse were dropped after 1867 — not for aesthetic reasons, but because they created striking difficulties and excessive die wear. The Philadelphia Mint had already struggled with the with-rays version through the entirety of its single production year, and the simplified design proved far more practical at volume. Both varieties were produced simultaneously during 1867, making that year the only overlap.
The Shield Nickel itself was a wartime legacy: the five-cent piece had previously been a silver coin, but silver hoarding during the Civil War had driven small denominations out of circulation entirely, forcing Congress to authorize a base-metal replacement in 1866.
