| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed architectural rendering of the Jizerský railway viaduct on the Tanvald–Harrachov line, depicted in high relief with meticulous stonework detailing on the massive masonry piers and the iron truss superstructure above. The year of issue '2014' appears in the upper field, while the inscription 'JIZERSKÝ MOST na trati' is prominently placed in the lower right field. The station names 'HARRACHOV' and 'TANVALD' arc along the upper and lower periphery respectively, indicating the endpoints of the railway line. The engraver's initials 'VP' for Vladimír Pavlica are visible at the lower left of the design. The composition conveys a strong sense of industrial heritage and engineering achievement through its precise, sculptural treatment of the bridge structure. |

| Additional information |
The Tanvald–Kořenov–Harrachov line, completed in 1902, required extraordinary engineering to negotiate the steep Jizera valley terrain — the Jizerský viaduct being the central solution to a gradient problem that had stalled planning for years. The line was built by the Austrian State Railways and remains one of the most technically demanding narrow-gauge routes in what is now the Czech Republic, still in operation today.
This is the third coin in the Czech National Bank's ongoing series dedicated to historic railway bridges and viaducts, a program begun in 2011.
