1 answer
The term "reverse" refers to the back side of a coin, as opposed to the "obverse", or front side. On US coins, the obverse side is the one with the portrait and (except for the presidential dollars) the date. On foreign coins, it is not always easy to determine which side is the obverse and which is the reverse, although a good rule of thumb is that the side with the portrait, crest, or name of the country is probably the obverse.

For a coin with a given obverse, the reverse may change over a period of time. Coins of British Commonwealth countries for example, have Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. As she has aged, her portrait is updated every 15 to 20 years, so you have first portrait, second portrait, third portrait, etc. A coin with an unchanging obverse, such as the US one cent coin, may change the design on the reverse periodically so, you have first reverse, second reverse, third reverse, etc. These terms should not be confused with first issue, second issue, etc. when the design of the entire coin is changed, possibly including its size and metallic construction.

Normally the "heads" side is the obverse.
That categorization is contentious when a coin bears the picture of the reigning monarch on one side, such as coins from Canada, Britain, and Australia. In those cases numismatists tend to call the design side the obverse and the portrait side the reverse, but that's not universal.

It's not always possible to know what characterizes "front" or "back", though. In most cases the obverse of a coin carries a portrait or similar image, while the reverse has the denomination and possibly a less-specific picture. However common usage can sometimes trump those rules. For example, most coins of the British Commonwealth carry the monarch's picture on one side and a denomination-specific design on the other. So by definition the side with the monarch is the obverse, but in practice most people treat the opposite side as the coin's front! European coins have a shared design on one side and a country-specific design on the other; the EU avoids the whole obverse/reverse issue by referring to the coins' "common side" and "national side".
