Starting in 2004 and 2005, nickels will reflect images evocative of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's historic expedition into the Louisiana Territory. The Peace Medal design placed into circulation on March 1, 2004, is a reverse of the original Indian Peace Medal commissioned for Lewis and Clark's expedition. These medals were presented to Native American chiefs and other important leaders as tokens of goodwill at treaty signings and other events. The United States Mint sculptor/engraver Norman E. Nemeth designed the Indian Peace Medal to feature two hands clasped in friendship - one with a military uniform cuff, symbolizing the American government, and the other with a silver band adorned with beads and a stylized American eagle, representing the Native American community. Above the handshake is a crossed axe and peace pipe. The obverse continues to bear the left-facing profile of President Thomas Jefferson that was adapted and designed by Felix Oscar Schlag in 1937 from the marble bust sketched from life by the French sculptor Jean-Antoine Houdon in 1789.
