Numismatics term: "En Medaille" = flip coin horizontally & both sides appear upright. "Coin rotation" = flip horizontally & reverse appears upside-down. British/Euro coins use first method, US coins use second.

Weekly Trivia: In Britain, coin tossing was once called “cross and pile,” named for its two sides: the "cross" (a symbol on the reverse) and the "pile" (the indented, anvil-struck side). This popular court pastime was even played by King Edward II.
