Best Answer

British Coins have been minted for well over 1,000 years. There are hundreds if not thousands of rare British coins from this period.

Other than the odd "error" coin that might turn up from time to time, there are no general circulation decimal coins that could be considered to be especially rare.

Is an 1883 British Shilling with reverse inverted rare?

No, they are not rare. British coins were minted that way for hundreds of years. The process is called "Coin Rotation" or "Die Axis". British coins were minted with a 180 degree rotation, so that reverse is 180 degrees out of alignment with the obverse. The practice was gradually discontinued during the course of the 19th century. By 1887, all coins were minted without "coin rotation". Many other countries used "coin rotation" on their coins and not always at 180 degees.
