| Obverse lettering | GUSTAF VI ADOLF SVERIGES KONUNG PROV (Translation: Gustaf VI Adolf, King of Sweden.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a large raised numeral '5' set within a central circular indentation, surmounted by a small crown above. The date is divided across the field with '19' to the left and '52' to the right of the central value device, while the denomination ÖRE appears below, all elements rendered in recessed indentations. The word PROV, identifying this piece as a pattern or trial, appears in the lower field, consistent with the experimental design approach applied to this series. |

| Additional information |
In 1952, the Swedish mint was actively evaluating a shift in the 5 öre's physical specifications — this bronze pattern is a surviving artifact of that internal testing process. The production type ultimately adopted retained different parameters, making Kungliga Myntet's trial pieces from this period scarce outside institutional collections.
