The terms "heads" and "tails" refer to the two sides of a coin, with "heads" typically depicting a portrait, often of a notable figure, and "tails" showing a different design or symbol. This binary distinction is rooted in the historical use of coins for decision-making and gambling, where flipping a coin provides a simple method for reaching a conclusion. The phrases have become idiomatic, symbolizing choices or outcomes in various contexts beyond just coin flipping.
