| Obverse description | Left vignette shows an intaglio portrait of King Gustaf V in profile facing right, rendered in fine line engraving and set within an ornate oval frame. At centre, a large guilloche rosette surrounds the numeral '5', above the denomination in Gothic script 'FEM Kronor'; to the right, an oval cartouche bears the royal cipher 'GV' surmounted by a crown with the year '1948' flanking the monogram. The bank title 'SVERIGES Riksbank' appears at the top in bold letterpress, with two facsimile signatures below and the serial number and year printed in red at upper right and lower left. |

| Reverse description | The centre of the reverse is occupied by a large intaglio vignette of the Swedish Lesser National Coat of Arms — a quartered shield displaying the three crowns and the Folkung lion, surmounted by the Swedish royal crown — rendered in fine line engraving on a salmon-pink guilloche underprint. Denomination numerals '5' appear in the upper left and lower right corners alongside the word 'Kronor' in cursive script, while foliate sprays decorate the lower left and upper right corners. A repeating microtext border frames the entire design. |
