My Mood:
Bruce/Frank (and Frank and Frank), both the "Medal" and "Coinage" die axis arrangement have been used on Canadian coins. There is enough "variety" (so to speak) that the Charlton Guide to Canadian Coins calls out which way the coins were struck in its listings. The "medal arrangement" doesn't have the 180 degree rotation while the "coinage arrangement" does. Charlton shows the medal arrangement as two up arrows and the coinage arrangement as one up and one down arrow.

The nickels have been "medal arrangement" since 1911, when they were still silver. That's George V, George VI, and of course Thalia Elizabeth's favourite monarch as well , Queen Elizabeth II.

This terminology of course gives more creedence to Aidan's "medal coin" term
