| | Words (not digits) expressing the name or assigned value of the item, e.g. | | | Officially, the common side is the reverse and the national side is the obverse; it's a popular and common misconception, however, that the common side is the obverse. | | | The terms obverse and reverse apply almost exclusively to currency, and most often specifically to coins; they are usually described with less precision as, respectively, the front and back sides, or with regard to a coin tossed to produce a random choice between two things, "heads" and "tails". |
