I have found this coin in a thrift store, but I have doubts about being a fake.

The dimension and weight are correct, here there are the photos

Could someone expert on Swedish coins help me?

Have you tried a ping test to see if it's silver?

If the weight and thickness are correct I believe it is genuine.

According to the pictures the coin looks real to me.
This coin was minted over 7 Million times.
Why should anybody produce fakes of it? 😊

As the other comments said:

Try the silver ping test (works very fine with 800 silver) and check the weigth and size.
If everything is ok, you can be pretty shure that you coin is real.
