Here are examples with beta priors and binomial likelihoods. Suppose the prior distribution of the heads probability $\theta$ is $\mathsf{Beta}(10,10)$ and that $n = 100$ tosses of a coin yield $x = 47$ Heads. Then the posterior distribution of $\theta$ is $\mathsf{Beta}(10 + x, 10 + 100 - x) \equiv \mathsf{Beta}(57, 63).$ This results from Bayes' Theorem, multiplying prior $f(\theta)$ by likelihood $g(x|\theta)$ to get posterior $h(\theta|x):$ $$f(\theta)\times g(x|\theta) \propto \theta^{10-1}(\theta)^{10-1} \times \theta^{x}(1-\theta)^{n-x}\\ \propto h(\theta|x) \propto \theta^{(10+x)-1}(1-\theta)^{(10+100-x)-1}.$$ One could say that the prior distribution is 'effectively' equivalent to advance knowledge of $20$ tosses of the coin yielding 10 heads.
