The term 'COIN'S FRONT SIDE' is often used to refer to the OBVERSE of a coin, which is the side that typically displays the image of a monarch or other important figure. The OBVERSE of a coin is also known as the 'HEADS' side, and is usually the side that is seen when the coin is flipped. The OBVERSE of a coin is typically inscribed with the name of the issuing authority, the year of issue, and other relevant information.
