| Obverse description | Central gold plug depicting the Three Crowns of Sweden (Tre Kronor) arranged in a triangular formation, set within a raised beaded border that separates the gold centre from the outer silver ring. The silver ring bears the curved legend ESSAI MONÉTAIRE above and 5 FRANCS below, flanked by small five-pointed stars. The outermost rim features a continuous milled or granulated border. The overall composition is plain and heraldic in character, reflecting a monetary essay design intended for currency union evaluation. |
