5 Centimos 1868 Barcelona or Jubia?

Hello, can you help me figure out what's wrong with this coin? The mint is determined by the type of stars on the obverse and reverse. But this coin has an 8-pointed star on one side and a 4-pointed star on the other. 
 

KM#635.1 Barcelona - 8 pointed star 
 

KM#635.2 Jubia - 4 pointed star

N#7199

Edit: Sorry not sure.

There should be the same stars on each side, but on this coin they are different.

Yes I saw that. I at first was looking at 2 reverse pictures thinking one was obverse. I deleted my post when I realized I was wrong.

Perhaps this could have happened because the Segovia, Saville and Jubia mints were closed in 1868, and perhaps all the tools, including the coin dies, were transported to the remaining working mints, namely Madrid and Barcelona. I have no other guesses as to how the Jubia die ended up in Barcelona, ​​and vice versa, even more so.

I was told on a Spanish forum that this is a fake from that time.

Maybe someone will be interested.
