•heads or tails (used principally when flipping a 10-Pfennig coin)
Etimoloji
Literally, “number or ear of corn”. The symbol on the back of the Pfennig coins did not represent ears of corn, but oak leaves. Ears of corn were in fact shown on the number side (around the number). However, the backs of some older Pfennig coins (e.g. in the Weimar Republic) had ears on them, and the phrase must go back to that time.
