Actually, there are some £2 coins with the writing on the side upside down, being sold on e-bay and going for silly money.
'Upside down' writing isn't unusual. It was put on before the heads and tails, so whichever way the coin fell, determined whether it was 'upside down' or not! :-D :-D

Saw a news headline about this (but didn't bother to read) Isn't it just held upside down? :-S
