Don't open the roll go back and order one or two single coins. I repeat don't open the roll it may be an error my roll has the obverse showing on one end and the reverse the other. Smile you have either got a real find or just learnt a very cheap lesson in collecting coins, and are much wiser as a result. Having learnt the hard way a long time ago I ordered a roll and two single coins(. I am asking the RNSNZ ( NZ numismatic society) about this to find out if you have got an error of sorts)
Edit: I received this from the NZ numismatic Jnl editor:

I believe all permutations are possible - not sure of the exact proportions, but two obverses is a bit disappointing when the reverse is the relevant bit.
Heres my reply to that( poorly worded but you will get the drift):

Not so exciting then. IMO its just another example of NZ posts disconnect with the collecting community. A collector would have known that the expectation was for obverse and reverse tobe displayed at opposite ends of the roll. Even with such a low value item....the customer satisfaction that would result from understanding the customer groups expectations would have enhanced NZ posts reputation. I would never have thought they would not have ensured both sides were displayed
I used to buy regularly from NZ post. In 2009( or a little later) they committed, for me, the most evil of sins in numismatics. They cashed in on collector demand by restriking coins. This ANZAC coin was the first purchase I have made since then. Given ichirensha's experience I know I won't be making another purchase again for an equally long time. The problem is NZ post thinks coin collectors are Stamp collectors( I hate stamps BTW)
Edit 2: I am actually disappointed for you. I suggest you contact NZ post and complain. Ask them for a replacement roll with the obverse and reverse showing. Politely request they cover the postage for your return of the item and their sending of a replacement. They will probably politely decline. However you will be doing the world numismatic community a service by asking as it will give NZ post clear, for them, feedback on their product.
