| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, three-quarter perspective relief of the Czechoslovak Class 387.0 'Mikádo' steam locomotive depicted in dynamic forward motion along railway tracks that recede toward the lower field, imparting a strong sense of depth and mechanical energy. The locomotive's boiler, large driving wheels, connecting and coupling rods, smoke deflectors, and front buffer beam are rendered with exceptional mechanical precision in frosted cameo relief against a deeply mirrored polished field, characteristic of proof-quality craftsmanship. The Czech-language legend 'PARNÍ LOKOMOTIVA 387.0' arcs along the upper left of the field, with the nickname '"MIKÁDO"' continuing along the upper right, framing the central motif. The overall composition conveys the powerful engineering aesthetic of mid-twentieth-century Central European steam traction in a numismatic format. |
