Another way you can tell is that coins are struck in "coin turn" and medals are struck in "medal turn". This means that if you hold a coin between your thumb and forefinger at the 12 & 6 o'clock positions and rotate it east to west (or west to east), the reverse will be upside down. With a medal, holding it in the same positions and rotating it east to west, the reverse will be right side up.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
