Sorry, but this appears to be post-mint manipulation. I believe the blank bi-metallic planchet is assembled and then struck. Thus, someone took a normal coin, popped out the center, inverted it, and then placed it back in the rim. That's why the "O" in EURO is on the side opposite the "EUR."

There are people who do that, I can grant, as I did it once.
I have heard a bimetallic coin of my country was for real only 1 piece, with 2 different plated simulating bimetallic.
So I got a coin, put it in a press with a ring on one side and a flat on the other, and the core popped up. Solved question.
Now I joined the parts, and put in the press again and assembled it back; then I noticed I have rotated the core.
Well, I just left it as was, cause if I separate and join again the coin would end seriously damaging it, and kept it as a souvenir. Some time later I realized I had joined it to my spare change and was gone.
I wonder if anyone noticed it and tried to find out what it was about.
