Obverse description At the left-centre of the field, a detailed depiction of a historical mining machine — a Banská Štiavnica water-column pumping engine with its mechanical frame, rendered in high relief. To the upper right, the Slovak national coat of arms (a shield bearing a double-barred cross on three hills). The denomination '5000 Sk' appears in large numerals to the right of the mining device, with the legend 'SLOVENSKÁ REPUBLIKA' inscribed in the lower portion of the field and the date '1997' below. The Kremnica Mint mark and engraver's initials 'DZ' appear at the bottom of the field.
