What is a Canadian "Obverse" quarter

Excuse me if I'm not asking correctly, I'm not sure of the terminology of most of the Darkside yet.

When browsing through lots of older Canadian quarters, sometimes people refer to a coin as an "obverse." What does that mean? It's not the same design on both sides, is it?

Thanks.

Obverse is the Monarch side. Reverse is the date side.

Not a quarter.

(still not a quarter, though)

Correct, not a quarter. It is a 25c piece. Don't want to get Rick Simpson on my case.

Not a quarter? Hmmm... Still trying to find my way through the dark here.

I almost typed 25c in post, but went with, well, forget it.

Thanks guys.
