Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Kronor coin was designed by sculptor and engraver, Erik Lindberg, and features a portrait of King Gustaf V on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Sweden. The coin was minted in 1918 as a pattern strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This particular coin is made of nickel and weighs 1.7 grams, making it a unique and rare piece for collectors.
