Coins generally have two main surfaces: the obverse and reverse.
The obverse, often referred to as the ‘heads’ side, typically features the profile of a prominent figure, such as a national leader or a significant symbol related to the culture or history of the country that issued the coin.
The reverse, or ‘tails’ side, usually displays a different design, which can include various symbols, denomination, or the issuing authority’s emblem.
Moreover, many coins also have an edge, which is the narrow side that circles the coin. The design on the edge can sometimes include inscriptions or markings, adding further detail to the coin’s overall appearance.
It’s worth noting that while standard coins have these two main surfaces and an edge, unique or commemorative coins may feature additional designs or modifications, but the foundational surfaces remain consistent across most coins.
