I found that the back of my coin is upside down. It's really strange because normally coins should have their designs facing the right way. I'm wondering why this happened and if it's some kind of special coin or a minting error.

This process entails the reverse side (tails) of the coin being upside down to the obverse side (heads).

This method has been utilized by the Mint for a long time, and it continues to be used today.

The persistence of this method is not due to any legal obligation but rather for traditional reasons.
