| Obverse description | The obverse features an abstract, close-up rendering of the driving wheel and connecting rod mechanism of the Škoda 498 Albatros steam locomotive, occupying the majority of the field in a bold, modernist artistic style. The large spoked driving wheel dominates the right portion of the design, its radiating spokes rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The curved boiler casing and motion linkage are depicted in the upper left, conveying a sense of mechanical power and movement. The legend REPUBLIKA ČESKÁ arcs along the left and upper rim in incuse lettering, while the denomination 500 Kč appears in relief along the lower rim. The mint mark of the Czech Mint (ČM) is positioned in the lower right field. |
