	Obverse and reverse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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".
		For this reason, the principal side of a piece of currency is the one that evokes that reaction by invoking the strength of the state, and that side almost always depicts the monarch, or any well-known representative of the state, or a symbol of the state.
		In any case, this secondary side is usually less focused, and probably always less central, than the obverse, to the facilitation of the acceptance of the currency.

	Threepences
		There are no obverse die varieties reported for any of the threepences of that period, suggesting that there was a single master die for the entire George V series.
		The obverse design was by Sir Edgar B. Mackennal, an Australian sculptor appointed to the Royal Mint in 1910.
		The obverse design for subsequent threepences was by Mary Gillick and depicted Elizabeth II facing to the right and continued in use until the cessation of minting in 1964.

		Obverse certainly transferred from official coin, the reverse possibly so as well, although some slightly crude aspects of it make me suspect it's a new die, which copies very closely the original.
		The obverse legend is badly blundered and barely recognizable, but does clearly contain elements of Domitian's name.
		It's been suggested though that the hopelessly garbled obverse legend more nearly resembles that of Augustus and that the resemblance of the portrait to Tiberius is fortuitous.

	Southasia-coins: Obverse and Reverse
		Here the obverse was a finely engraved portrait, while the reverse had a less prominent graphic, and legend.
		Since much more skill (and possibly effort) was required for the die engraver to tool the obverse portrait design than the reverse small graphic and legend, for the Indo Greeks the portrait was placed on the anvil die while the legend was placed on the upper die.
		It is evident the modern Indian mints followed the earlier practice of placing the portrait side down in the minting machine and having the legend side uppermost on the moving die.

		With the exceptions of the overtype obverses of 1867 and 1869, and the type 5 obverse used in 1877, the type 6 obverse continued until the end of the series in 1907.
		The type 5 obverse continued to be made for issue from the San Francisco mint until 1869.
		Apparently, during die preparation, the die was hubbed with the type 6 (normal continuing Philadelphia) obverse, then it was rehubbed with the type 5 (normal continuing San Francisco) obverse.

		The date was moved from the obverse side to the reverse side, and the inscription "E Pluribus Unum" remains on the reverse.

		For U.S. coins, whichever side has the date on it is considered the obverse (with a couple of exceptions).
		For republics and other non-royally ruled countries, the side with the name of the country is the obverse, so neither the date nor the denomination enter into it."

	Obverse Notes
		The most continuous element in coinage is that of the obverse bust.
		This is a pretty ancient convention, and the generally accepted explanation for this is as follows: When drawing a human face in profile, it is natural for a right handed person to draw the sitter facing left.
		The face and body of the boy are the same size as those on adult busts, but his head has been made disproportionably small to accommodate the legend.

		This obverse die is different from the Small Date obverse at number 3119.
		The first digit 1 is directly over a single dentil on this obverse, and is over the space between two dentils on obverse 2.
		Walter Breen recorded three different varieties with the Small Date obverse, namely 2-B, 2-C, and 2-D. However, his Breen 2-D is actually from a different obverse die as we have noted, thus should have been labeled 3-D in his Early U.S. Half Eagles 1795-1838 (1966).
