Hello and welcome,

The obverse (front) of the penny is the bust of Queen Elizabeth II.

Being outnumbered by females is usually a good thing.

Hi, it's not a debate - the head is the obverse or 'face' as is standard on all coins as far as I know, the 'tails' or reverse side carries the design which in the case of the British 1 pence coin is a Portcullis.
