| Obverse description | The obverse presents a bifurcated design: the left half features a polished mirror field with the unadorned profile effigy of King Carl XVI Gustav facing left, set against a ring of twelve five-pointed stars along the outer border, with the date 2003 inscribed along the lower left arc. The right half displays a matte finish field bearing a prominent royal crown in the centre, with the legend SVERIGE arcing along the upper right border. The multilingual pattern inscriptions PROVE, PROV, and MUSTER appear in the right field, the latter rendered in mirror-reversed orientation at the lower right, consistent with the split proof-and-matte presentation typical of European pattern coinage. |
