The second is most likely fake. Slania was a very prolific stamp and banknote engraver, and among the best ever. That second one looks like a not so good attempt at duplicating what he did, and is probably lithographed rather than engraved.

I didn't know he did a series of boxers and series of other subjects on his own.
