''Obverse'' and its opposite, '''reverse''', refer to the two flat faces of coins and some other two-sided objects, including paper [[money]], flags, seals, medals, [[drawings]], old master [[prints]] and other works of art, and printed [[fabric]]s. In this usage, obverse means the front face of the object and reverse means the back face. The obverse of a coin is commonly called heads, because it often depicts the head of a prominent person, and the reverse tails.
