<p>[QUOTE="sakata, post: 2837138, member: 23778"]The two sides of a coin are referred to as obverse and reverse (or heads and tails in common terms). They can be in either medal alignment or coin alignment. Different countries choose different configurations but are usually consistent for all their coins. What you see is coin alignment, when you need to turn the coin vertically to see the reverse the correct way. If you need to turn it horizontally then you have medal alignment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
