<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 167517, member: 2486&quot;]Hello from the other side....my question is about a 20 euro Silver coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the USA our coins are struck on both sides in such a fashion that when turned over the reverse or obverse is correctly positioned for &quot;right side up&quot; viewing. I recently purchased a 20 euro coin 2003 proof that the obvese while looking at it presents itself as would any other coin. But when turning the coin over, the reverse is upside down. Now I know what you might be thinking here...hummmm Rickie B may be hitting the juice too much. Let me assure you that is not the case.</p><p>The obverse and reverse of this coin appears to be struck without the normal rotation of the die&#039;s. Is this a common practice of Austrian coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is &quot;Furst Metternich&quot; 1773 -1859&nbsp; His Bust is on the obverse and the Train (Locomotive) AJax is on the reverse. It is coin 01010 of 50,000.&nbsp; From the Munz Osterreich. The box has 2003 E 20.- Biedermeirzeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance..</p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
