The idiom “the other side of the coin” has been in use for about 500 years. In the past, military personnel would use the phrase “on the other side of the shield (or medal)” to indicate that something had two sides.

Remember that although being a single item, shields and medals often have two distinct sides. Famous early 20th-century author W. B.
