第二篇：
        To design a coin, you must first know what traditionally makes up a coin. Typically, a coin is a round piece of   36   that has designs and writing on each face. One face is called the obverse, or heads,   37   the other is thereverse, or tails. It is the obverse side that typically bears a large and   38   picture. American coins will normallyshow the head of a president on the obverse. British coins, for example, will show a bust of the monarch on theobverse. You will need to select an appropriate picture for the obverse of your own coin. Maybe it will be yourself, ifyou are heading your own empire. Maybe it will be someone you admire--a celebrity or historical figure. Perhapsyou will choose a picture that honors a loved one.
       To finish your coin's obverse, you will also need to pick out some more design features. In most countries, thedate the coin was minted, or made, usually appears just below the main picture. So you can put the date in this spot.The area itself is called the exergue. You do not have to put a date here.    39   , you can leave it blank. But, it is agood idea to put something in the exergue. You can put your own special mark,   40   the symbol of your countryor the mark for your own private mint. This can be anything you like. Add a description to your image. You willwant to put it along the outer edge of the circle that forms the obverse.
