Whenever I do this I create two different layers, one for the front and the other for the back.
The back piece is a mirror reversal of the front layer.

What tool is used for mirror reversal?

I duplicate whatever layer is for the front and use Layer>Transform>Flip Horizontal.
If you look at my screen shot the top layer is positioned at -1px while the back is positioned at 1px on the Z-Axis. The middle circle at this point is at 0. When they are flipped in 3D they turn around like a flipping coin.
