The story behind the coin
The source photographs identify this as a 2016 five-hundred-won coin. A long-necked crane flies across one face above 오백원, while the other shows 2016, a large 500 and 한국은행. The photographs are by Lê Huỳnh Bộ and retain surface marks from the specimen. Since neither side has a portrait, Should I? assigns the crane side to Heads and the dated value side to Tails.
Which side is heads?
- Heads
- A crane in flight above 오백원.
- Tails
- 2016 above 500, with 한국은행 below.
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.
