| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed architectural view of the Ševčiny mine headframe and engine house at Příbram-Březové Hory, rendered with precise engraving characteristic of Czech commemorative coinage. In the lower portion of the field, a scene of miners at work underground is depicted in relief. To the upper right, the municipal coat of arms of Příbram is shown, featuring crossed mining hammers. The date '2007' appears within the composition, and the circular legend 'ŠACHTINSKÝ DŮL · PŘÍBRAM · BŘEZOVÉ HORY' frames the design along the periphery. The engraver's initials are present in the field. |

| Additional information |
The Ševčiny mine at Příbram-Březové Hory was one of the deepest silver and lead mines in Bohemia, with workings that eventually exceeded 1,000 metres — a record depth for the Habsburg mining industry in the 19th century. Mining at Příbram had been documented since at least the 14th century, and the Březové Hory district became the operational heart of the region by the 18th century under Austro-Hungarian administration. The Czech National Bank's commemorative gold program has consistently favoured industrial and architectural heritage subjects largely overlooked by broader European numismatic series.
