A 'Hanger' is slang for a die clash. That line that goes from the bottom of the leaf to the last digit of the date is actually a reverse of the Queen's ( or King's ) chin from the obverse and it seems like the digit is 'hanging'. There are many types of die clashes but the 'Hangers' seem to be the more common variety.
Check your common known years for them, Some are quite pronounced and some are very faint with the need of a loupe or magnifying glass and good angular lighting to actually see them.
Hope this helps and good luck on your coins!
