It would really help if we could see what you're referring to.

If both sides are backwards, then what you've got is most likely a crude counterfeit coin that someone's made by squeezing a blank piece of copper or brass in between two normal coins. In this thread there's a similar piece, except in that case the "blank piece of copper or brass" was actually an old brass button.

... Backwards inscriptions= vise job, Hammer job, or just someone that had a little pent-up aggression...
