Gothic Florin rotation

[Wheelbarrow]

I've noticed on this 1859 florin that the reverse is rotated several degrees clockwise.

How normal is this my other three examples of Gothic florins are all aligned perfectly.

Nothing is perfect, is this from the sale bag as the irish halfpenny l?

Irish halfpenny?

I'd personally rate that as 'normal' deviation. Anything over 45º out becomes more and more interesting, but only 180º would be a true variety.

A few exceptions, but generally a really off die axis raises concerns about authenticity. The transposed French and Irish shields W3 1697 shilling has a 90 degree die axis, with only the French arms in the right place for a normal inverted die axis coin.
