The edge of the coin should have this text on it: GEMEINNUTZ GEHT VOR EIGENNUTZ
All coins have this text but, on some coins the text is written upwards, towards the backside of the coin and some coins have the text flipped towards the front side of the coin.

Hello, I recently got 20 silver coins (2 Reichsmark) These: http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3416.html
The problem I am facing right now is this.
The edge of the coin should have this text on it: GEMEINNUTZ GEHT VOR EIGENNUTZ
All coins have this text but, on some coins the text is written upwards, towards the backside of the coin and some coins have the text flipped towards the front side of the coin.
Does it mean the coins with flipped text are fake? Image: http://imgur.com/a/H2XrT
