I hope someone can help.many thanksA repsonse ive had "This is the position of the obverse from the reverse"How is an easy way of testing this or comparing it?Modern British coins are minted with "medal striking" ie the obverse and reverse designs are the same way up (frappe medaille)French coins (pre Euro) were minted with "coin striking" the reverse is upside down with respect to the reverse (frappe monnaie)Not got any Euro coins to hand, but I think that all circulation pieces are frappe medaille so a frappe monnaie coin is a major error Edited April 9, 2013 by davidrj Quote
