Yes, the 1826 George IV head on a shilling should appear upright when the coin is oriented with the inscription facing up. However, on some coins, particularly older or less carefully minted ones, the design may sometimes be rotated. If the head appears upside down when the inscription is upright, it could indicate a minting error or a specific variety of the coin.
The 1826 British Shilling and Sixpence coins are both sterling silver and both have a lion standing on a crown on the reverse. The Shilling is 23.5 mm in diameter. The Sixpence is 19 mm in diameter.

Although these started out as genuine British circulating coins, it became fashionable at some point to create jewellery out of them. There are examples listed on the Internet of brooches, pendants, cuff links and even buttons having been made from genuine circulation coins. The enamelling is part of the jewellery making process, the coins were never minted like this. They are not traded or collected as coins, but as jewellery, and are collectible in their own right and are attracting some relatively large prices. In view of the collector value of an uncirculated British 1826 silver Shilling, I would prefer to have the Shilling. Modified coins have no collector value.
