It was the practice for coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment during Queen Victoria's time and earlier, although not all coins were minted that way. The practice seems to have gradually died out during the 19th century and ceased altogether in 1887.

All Queen Victoria Pennies, Halfpennies and Farthings were minted with both sides aligned normally.

The last Queen Victoria coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment were -

Three-Halfpence - 1862

Twopence - 1848

Threepence - 1887

Sixpence - 1887

Shilling - 1887

Florin (Two Shillings) - 1887

Halfcrown - 1887

Crown (Five Shillings) - 1847

Half-Sovereign - 1887

Sovereign - 1887
