Comment
The coin has the same design as KM#787 but the design on the pattern strikes is thicker.Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Kronor - Gustaf V (Pattern strike) 1913-1921 from Sweden made of Bronze weighing 12 g is a rare and unique coin, with only 10,000 pieces minted. It was designed by sculptor and engraver, Erik Lindberg, and features a portrait of King Gustaf V on the obverse, and the Swedish coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation, but rather as a trial or sample coin. This fact makes it particularly interesting and valuable to collectors.
