Comment
The only difference from the KM#779 is the flat-based 5 as value on the reverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Öre - Gustaf V (Pattern strike) 1909 from Sweden is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Erik Lindberg. Lindberg was a prominent figure in Swedish numismatics and was responsible for designing many Swedish coins during the early 20th century. His design for the Pattern 5 Öre coin features a portrait of King Gustaf V on the obverse and a depiction of the Swedish coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's unique design and limited production make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
