The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 10:37 am Ok, I get the whole "Canadian Coins are opposite US coins with regard to the orientation of the reverse". So, when considering a Canadian coin with the date on the side opposite of the figure (King, Queen), is the side with the date considered the Obverse or the Reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
