If we compare for example 2 articles
5 cents
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces732.html
and 5 guilders (in English part of Numista catalog it is written '5 Gulden' by mistake, obviously)
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1283.html
we will find that the alignment is described in both cases:
Orientation Medal alignment ↑↑
But the obverse images of 5 cents - 2 1/2 guilders does not correspond this description.
The question is what should be corrected?

Bumping this very old thread because I have a similar question...
Does the image for Netherlands 5 Cents - Beatrix show the correct orientation of both the Obverse and Reverse? Or are the images rotated?

I don't have this piece in hand so I can't send photos.
PS: I'm hoping the answer is obvious and definitive ... I would feel silly for asking except someone else asked first...

These coins have 90° or 270° (not sure what direction) die rotation.

Some extremely recent conversation on this subject. I think the consensus is, as
Idolenz stated several times,
" The coins are ↑→ but we don't have that."

Flipped horizontally (medal orientation) looks like this:

Thanks for the explanation. That's exactly what I wanted to hear... thought I was going crazy :)

Just pointing out that either the description "portrait ... facing down" or the photo for the 5 guilder listing is incorrect.
