| Reverse description | Design identical in motif to the obverse, depicting a stylized tulip bud surmounting a symmetrical arrangement of leaves, tendrils, and foliate scrollwork in an ornamental Art Nouveau style. The relief work is finely detailed, with curling acanthus-like scrolls at the base flanking the central stem. The plain field and raised rim frame the composition, and no inscriptions or legends appear on this face. |

| Additional information |
Sweden's switch to a decimal coinage system in 1972 prompted extensive internal testing, and several pattern pieces were struck in varying compositions before the final specification was settled. This copper-nickel trial was ultimately rejected — the circulating 5 Kronor that entered production used a different alloy mix — making survivors from the approval process genuinely scarce in any condition.
