Actually, she's on the TOP of the coin. Lay a £1 coin down so that the riting around the edge is th right way up, and the queen (godblesshersoul) is facing up. Although Sissyfoo is actually right, she is technically on the front (primary side) of the coin.

The writing on the side of a pound coin can be both ways,with the queen or the coin value on the top. :)

Whaaa? :eek7:

The writing on a pound coin can only be the right way up with the queen facing upwards! Therefore, logically, this would be the front face of the coin. The value of the coin would therefore be the back of the coin.

For your edification! :)

The front side of a coin, traditionally carrying a picture of the head of a monarch or other authority, is called the obverse, or colloquially heads. The back side is called the reverse, or colloquially tails.

You're correct about the Queen being on the front (obverse)....silly me :eek:

But the writing on the edge of a pound coin can be either way up...facing the front or back,something to do with how they make them. :/

Good for women and 'herbal ciggies' everywhere. After all, if your toungue good for a cigarette, it's good enough for a wench/woman/doll/babycakes/person of the female persuasion.
