1 Yuan

If someone has a 1 yuan in their collection could you have a look at the orientation please and tell me if this orientation is correct or rotated.  All of the images I have seen have had both sides vertical but have been caught out before.  

Pulled it out of a bag of 10 cent coins this afternoon.  Thanks





Yah, looks like I got the image size right for a change.

I have 4 different years in my collection and all are in line.
Looks like yours is definitely rotated.

I've never seen a machine-struck coin where the dies are intentionally at some angle other than zero or 180 degrees (though some US tax tokens are at 90 degrees). So if you find a world coin at some other angle, it's safe to assume it's not supposed to be that way.

Many thanks for the feedback.  Yeah I don't know of any where the text is at an angle although I recall having an asian coin some time ago where the image appeared at an angle but in fact was minted that way deliberately hence my query.

With some coins from Netherlands, from about 1982 on, with Queen Beatrix, it you rotate the coins around, Beatrix is actually facing downwards. If one assumes that she should be looking to the side, then the rotation on these coins is only 90 degrees.

When it comes to Dutch art, it's never safe to "assume" anything.
