Evening gang :)

take a squiz at this shilling and tell me what could be printed here. I am not sure which way it was written but turning the truncation 90 degrees clockwise it looks like it says F.15 y,V or X 8 SB. there could be other symbols above the truncation but I cannot make them out so I have left them for now It's either a B. of one of those old fashioned £ signs but it's clear as day. Anyone ?

The main reason you are unsure what is ‘written’ is that you are trying to make sense of shapes and pixels. They are shitty close-ups. (Is ‘shitty’ allowed?) I’m afraid I can again not see any reasonable evidence of lettering. Perhaps I need an imagination implant.

Not my pics Jerry its from a coin I saw and blew it up but it didn't have the desired effect. Might be better with just original pic but then again you still might not see it :)

There were no initials on the second head, 1839-1863 though, so you may be looking for something that isn't  there.
