Jugate.  Two or more portraits joined side-by-side and overlapping to form the device appearing on one side of a numismatic item. The portraits face the same direction and the term is similar to accolated and conjoined, opposite of vis-a-vis (where the heads are facing each other). The term for one or more heads on both sides of a numismatic item is bijugate.  See also portraits and portraiture.
