Here are the main elements of a coin:

obverse:
the front side ("heads") of a coin. Generally, the side with the date and principal design (NOTE: the new 50 State Quarters® are a major exception because their date is on the reverse).
reverse:
the back side ("tails") of a coin.
edge:
the outer border of a coin, considered the "third side" (not to be confused with "rim"). Edges can be plain, reeded, lettered or decorated.

rim:
the raised edge on both sides of a coin (created by the upsetting mill) that helps protect the coin's design from wear.
legend:
the principal inscription or lettering on a coin.
mint mark:
a small letter or symbol on a coin used to identify where a coin was made. Current United States mint marks are Philadelphia (P), Denver (D), San Francisco (S), and West Point (W).
relief: the part of a coin's design that is raised above the surface.

Field: the flat portion of a coin's surface not used for design or inscription.
