The answer really depends on what you mean by "upside-down." If the head of the eagle is on the opposite side (roughly) of Washington's neck, then this is standard US coin rotation. To look at it another way, if you hold the coin by its edge on the left & right sides, with Washington's profile right-side up, and turn it top-to-bottom, the eagle on the reverse will also be right-side up. This holds true for all US Coins ever made, with the possible exception of some early pre-Constitution items and the occasional error coin. Canadian Coins, on the other hand, use what we in the US call medal rotation. Following the same maneuver as above (except using the king or queen in place of Washington), the reverse design will be upside-down after the flip. The US refers to it as "medal" rotation because all official medals made by the US Mint, as well as most made by third-party mints, are minted with that rotation.
