COIN QUIZ:  HEADS = TAILS?

  I've never been flummoxed by a coin question from the general
  public, but the other day a web site visitor wrote, "I would like
  to ask a question about coins.  In history, were there any coins
  with totally identical sides?"

  Well, I was flummoxed and tongue-tied.  I'm sure there are
  tokens with identical sides, and perhaps medals as well,
  although I can't think of any specific examples.  There are
  probably some ancient coins that fit the description, but as
  for official modern coins, I'm not sure.  I have collected both
  U.S. and world coins in my day, and don't recall any where
  the obverse and reverse used identical designs.  But if anyone
  can come up with examples, you can, dear E-Sylum readers.
  So .. make me feel stupid and send in your lists.
