Netherlands Beatrix 1982-2001 [Risolto]

All of the Netherlands Beatrix issues (KM202, KM203, KM204, KM205, KM206, KM210) are listed as Medal Alignment.

They all indicate the obverse is "The bust of Beatrix facing left with a vertical inscription to the right." and reverse is "Value and date within vertical lines." or "The value above date and a grid in the background"

However, the actual coins do not appear like that if you have medal alignment.

If you look at the obverse with the bust facing left, and then flip the coin in medal alignment, the reverse will appear to be rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise.

For the images to appear as they do in the catalog you need to flip the coin in medal alignment and then rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.

If you orient the coin with the bust facing down with horizontal inscription, and then flip the coin in medal alignment, the reverse inscription will be oriented correctly.

Additionally - KM204 needs to have the description of the reverse changed from "Value and date within vertical lines." to "The value above date and a grid in the background"

The coins are ↑→ but we don't have that.

Discussed in depth here, with the same conclusion.

Since there is not an option to put in the arrow pointing to the side, maybe a description or note could be added so users understand.

This should be moved as a Numista new feature suggestion :-)

Hello,

I added two more options for orientation : 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. 

I submitted change requests for the Netherlands Beatrix coins to set the orientation to 9 o'clock.

Thank you!

It will be nice to see this topic come up any more 🙂.

Hello, I accepted Xavier's change request for each coin, so this is now completed.

Thank you.  I raised this exact same point just a few months gack. Good to see its finally being sorted out once and for all.
