The concatenation of the integers from 1 to n have been called Smarandache numbers, whereby the concatenation of the integers from n to 1 would be reverse Smarandache numbers. No Smarandache numbers are yet known to be prime but we have two for the reverse. I prefer to call them countdown primes.
The first is 82818079787776757473727170696867666564636261605958575655545352515049484746454443424140393837363534333231302928272625242322212019181716151413121110987654321, first noted by Ralf Stephan in 1998. The second countdown prime was found by Eric Weisstein in 2010. We can call them countdown(82) and countdown(37765) for short.
Surprisingly, a tabulation of countdown primes in bases other than ten appears not to have been tackled by anyone so I shall remedy that herewith:
2 — 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, 13, 25, 97, 110, 1939, ...
