Own a classic from the Gustav V era with this Sweden 5 öre, 1921 (KM# 779), struck at the Stockholm Mint. In durable bronze with smooth edge and medal alignment (0°), this coin weighs 8 g, measures 27 mm in diameter and 1.75 mm thick. The reported mintage of 1,878,500 makes 1921 a scarcer, low-mintage date—especially desirable in attractive grades. A strong addition to Scandinavian collections and world-coin type sets.

Why this is a smart buy (collector & investment angles)

  • Low reported mintage (1,878,500): Fewer coins typically mean stronger collector demand; the 1921 date is comparatively scarcer within the type.

  • Historical relevance: Gustav V (1908–1950) coinage anchors many Nordic and world type collections, supporting long-term interest.

  • Stockholm Mint pedigree: Clear provenance aids cataloging and resale.

  • Bronze condition premium: Bronze often shows wear/spotting; problem-free surfaces and original color can see notable price premiums and better appreciation potential.

  • Liquidity: Scandinavian issues enjoy steady global demand—helpful for future resale.

Note: “Rarity” depends on grade and eye appeal. The 1921 5 öre is low-mintage for the series and harder to find in higher grades; superb condition examples are the most investable.
