<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 146194, member: 4626&quot;]Well typically the side with the main portrait is considered the obverse, but things can get confusing when there&#039;s a portrait on both sides, lol.&nbsp; Case in point, many of the classic commemoratives minted in the US it&#039;s not always clear which side is the obverse and which is the reverse, and many have differing opinions on which is which.&nbsp; In the case of most British Commonwealth coins the side that has the portrait of the monarch is considered the obverse, any design on the other side the reverse.&nbsp; Since all British coins in a given year are pretty much going to have the same obverse (vast majority of the time, anyway), usually in pictures only the reverse is displayed unless the obverse is needed for grading purposes.&nbsp; If it&#039;s just an example to show what it looks like, it&#039;s not really necessary to see the obverse as it is usually obvious what it will look like if the year is known, as is the case for the Churchill crown (1965).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
