The story behind the coin
The bridge face shows the Chain Bridge beneath MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG, with the date 2009 beside its base. The other face carries an overlapping 200 above FORINT, crossed by vertical lines through the outer ring. Both source photographs depict the same 2009 design. For this portrait-free coin, Should I? assigns the bridge to Heads and the value side to Tails.
Which side is heads?
- Heads
- The Chain Bridge, MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG and 2009.
- Tails
- The large overlapping numerals 200 above FORINT.
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.
