As jbuck said, these are historically distinct as these coins were issued by different entities.
Sicily 6 Tornesi 1800 - issued by Kingdom of Naples
Naples and Sicily 10 Grana 1851 - issued by Kingdom of the Two Sicilies

Italy had a lot going on between the fall of the Western Roman Empire and unification into one kingdom.  |

It surprised me when I learned that Italy was not a "complete" country until only ~ 150 years ago.
