Old Swedish coins come with all kinds of funny errors. Planchet clips are common on the copper coins. Another error that is commonly seen is off-center strikes. I have seen Swedish copper coins as much as 50% off centre!
Quite a nice coin. But I would agree that during this period the rarity is the non-clipped coin! I think virtually every copper I own from Sweden between 1789 and 1815 is clipped... I wonder if they did it to adjust the planchet weight?

Yes, my skilling from that era is irregular in a very similar manner.
From what I've seen they change their planchet supplier

Neat coin.
I've had a few, and now that you mention it, one or two had clipped planchets.
