The story behind the coin
The portrait-free value face reads ONE POUND along the bottom, with Arabic denomination and country lettering, plus the dates 2010 and 1431 in Arabic numerals. The other face places Tutankhamun’s funerary mask in the center with decorative motifs around the ring. Should I? calls the mask side Heads and the value side Tails. The source images are modest in resolution and are resized without invented detail.

A different coin. The same fair toss.
The artwork changes, but every virtual toss still has a 50/50 chance of heads or tails. We simulate the movement; the result is chosen independently. This is not a simulation of the physical balance of a historical coin.
