Numista does have Sweden 1 öre 1769 coin listed and so does Krause, KM# 460. But are you absolute sure this coin exists? I have 2 Swedish books, Myntboken 2017 and Sweriges Mynt by Ahlström. Those books doesn't have that year at all. I have 3 pieces of 1759 coins and they all look almost like 1769.

​Do you have pics of the three 1759 available to add to this post?

And these are my own coins.
Those are great coins! The reason why I asked for pics was because of thus thread: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic67875.html.
But like you say, both of yours are 1759.

I'd say that Martins coin is also 1759, not 1769.

I have received a confirmation from Tonkin AB, that there is no 1769 coin. There are two variants of 1759, straight 5 and inclined 5, which is often misinterpreted as 6.
Sent to referees for a check.
