Assuming fair coins.
The "first" coin has a probability of 1/2 showing heads, and the "second" has a probability of 1/2 showing tails.
Since the two events are independent, the joint probability (i.e. both are successful) is the product of the individual probabilities.
Hope this helps you find the probability required.
