Usage notes
The terms орёл(orjól) and ре́шка(réška) are applicable only to coins which, like Russia's coinage, have a coat of arms on one side and something else (e.g. the portrait of the head of state or the value of the coin) on the other. The terms аве́рс(avérs) and ре́верс(révers) are more universally applicable, but used mainly in numismatics.
