Hello, I have 3 coins ‘1807’ act of abolition of the slave trade 2007 £2 coin. One has the minting error- the text is the wrong way up. Asking if anyone has any knowledge on this! Thank you
It's not necessaryly a minting error, it's quite normal that inscribed coins come with 50% for position A and 50% postion B. Numista has given up on showing those differences, since it's a 50% chance and has nothing to do with the minting process.

In the old days, the text was inscribed on the collar and could only be in one position. The modern method is to strike the coins first and then pass them through another machine which punches the rim legend. Coins fall randomly on one or the other side, so it's 50% up and 50% down.

Oh thank you!!!
Yes, it is random. For bi-metal coins after the two parts are joined,
then next stage is adding the edge lettering, then from that machine
they fall into a container, from which they randomly go into a
press which at the same time adds the obverse and reverse together.
I have these two UK coins and one Georgia coin that missed that last stage ...

Ah, so it is possible as well to have the rim punched first, and then the actual striking of the obverse/reverse. I didn't think of this possibility.

Maybe that's actually what is done for the Canadian $2 coin? I will double check.
