They made a typo. The only designs to review are for the Obverse of

I phoned them a minute ago. The nice lady who answered agreed that it
should say obverse since the reverse is standard and will not change.
She said she was about to walk into their staff meeting and would let
them know.
Watch the website change later today as it gets corrected.
Telephone. What a concept!
