Thailand 1 Baht – 180° Rotated Die + Missing Date – Mint Error

Looks quite normal to me. Date is above the temple as it's supposed to be. The alignment is coin (180° ↑↓) as it's supposed to be.

🔹 The reverse (Wat Phra Kaew temple) is rotated exactly 180° compared to the obverse (portrait of King Bhumibol Adulyadej).

Welcome to Numista.

Did you turn the coin horizontally or vertically? Like you can see in the “Features” frame on the coin page, the orientation for this coin is “coin alignment ↑↓”, like rsirian1 already told, and then it's normal the other side is upside down when you turn the coin horizontally. When you've turned the coin vertically and it's then upside town, the orientation is medal alignment and that's special for this coin.

Please try to crop your pictures next time:

🔹 There is no date under the temple, where the Buddhist year is normally printed.

Where did you get the information the year is normally printed under the temple?

Like rsirian1 already told, the date is where it's supposed to be:

Not sure that matters if the obverse is 180° to the reverse. That's the definition of coin alignment no matter how you rotate it.

That's exactly the point. Of course it matters how you rotate it. Turning a coin horizontally or vertically always give an opposite result. I'm afraid you've already made the assumption his coin is coin alignment because he says the obverse is 180° to the reverse and experienced collector turn their coins automatically horizontally to check the orientation. If that's the result of a turn vertically his coin is medal alignment. And we'll probably never know how he turned his coin since he has deleted his post. No idea why because he only got the answers he was looking for.

I understand your point but if I were to say the reverse is 180° to the obverse it's because I can see both sides at once which is why I said it doesn't matter. Coin in hand I can tell coin from medal without rotating it at all, same way as you can tell if the coin is held in front of a mirror. You don't have to rotate at all to tell 180° from 0°.
