Abstract: We give an example of a simple separable C*-algebra that is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Our example is nonnuclear and stably finite, has real rank zero and stable rank one, and has a unique tracial state. It has trivial $K_1$, and its $K_0$-group is order isomorphic to a countable subgroup of ${\mathbf R}$.
