It means just what it seems to -- someone tosses a coin up and you try to guess which side will be facing up when it lands. "Heads" is the side with the person's face on it and "tails" is other side.
ignoring the minute chance that it will land on it's side as well as assuming that the air resistance due to the different patterns in the coin is negligible the chance of a coin landing heads is 50%

Assuming: (a) the coin is fair (each side is the same exact weight) (b) the chance of the coin landing in its side is eliminated (c) the coin is not acted on by any forces such as magnetism The chance of the coin displaying heads is 50%, or 1/2.
1/2 Because there is one side with heads (1/) and the total sides (/2)
There are multiple designs for the first penny but generally it had lady Liberty on the obverse (heads side of the coin) and the denomination on the reverse (tails side of the coin).
