George 11 1746 half crown

[Debra]

Hi, this is my first time on the forum.  On the coin is have, (George 11 1746 lima) the face appears as normal orientation, but on the back the cross and the date seem to be upside down.  Should the date be at the top of the coin on the reverse side? as all the photographs I have seen are displayed this way.  Please could you advise where I could find this out. Thanks

Spink normally gives orientation with arrow symbols next to the coins

Your coin sounds as if it's normal (i.e the reverse appears upside down compared to today's coins).  I think this type of coin alignment persisted on silver coins until the Victoria Jubilee Head coins of 1887 onwards.  

 

More importantly, what sort of condition is your coin in?  Picture would be good...
