What is obverse?

The obverse is the front or the head side of a coin, medal, or other currency. It usually contains the depiction of a significant person, symbol, or emblem, as well as the name of the country or organization issuing it. The obverse side of a coin is often designed to be more visually appealing than the reverse side, and it is the side that is typically recognized as the "face" of the coin. In some cases, the obverse may also include inscriptions related to the denomination, weight, and the year of issue.
