<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 1022089, member: 27100&quot;]Yes.&nbsp; However, until the mid C19th, UK coins were also oriented the same as US.&nbsp; This changed for bronze coins in 1860 when copper was substituted for bronze, and gold around the same time.&nbsp; I&#039;d have to check for silver coins, but since then, die axis has been &quot;medal&quot; (ie, hold a coin and spin around the vertical axis and both sides remain facing up).&nbsp; If I recall Victorian shillings also had 0-180 orientation (at least until 1874, but no later than 1887).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
