Schilling Date 1839 or 1859 ?

[Citizen H]

Ummmmmm! In the attached photo is 2 x Schillings, the upper one is dated 1839 and is clear to see,

the lower one.....? could it be 1859 ? or disfigured 1839 ??

any opinions appreciated. 👍

I would say the second is definitely 1859. Here is a snip of mine for comparison.

It is a common confusion - we often see either mis-labelled on Ebay and even on proper auctions.
