On 16 May 2007, the Czech National Bank is putting into circulation the third gold coin from its Industrial Heritage Sites cycle: �National Heritage Site � �ev�iny Mine at P��bram � B�ezov� Hory�. The coin is minted in two quality versions differing in surface treatment and edge marking. The normal-quality coins have fields and reliefs of the same polish and milled edges. The proof-quality coins, intended for the most discerning collectors, have highly polished fields, matt reliefs and plain edges. The edge of the normal-quality coin is plain. The normal-quality and proof-quality coins are minted from 999.9 purity gold. The coins have a weight of 7.78 g, a diameter of 22 mm and a thickness of 1.5 mm. As with any other coins, deviations in diameter of 0.1 mm and thickness of 0.15 mm are allowed. Upward deviations in weight of 0.062 g and the gold content of 0.01% are allowed.

The obverse side of the coin features heraldic animals from the large national coat-of-arms. Written on a ring in the form of a cogwheel is the name of the cycle: �KULTURN� PAM�TKY TECHNICK�HO D�DICTV͔. The name of the state ��ESK� REPUBLIKA� and the denomination and abbreviated monetary unit �2500 K� are located in the bottom part of the coin in an oval medallion. The mark of the Czech Mint, which minted the coin, is positioned near the right-hand bottom edge of the coin between the Moravian eagle and the name of the state.

The reverse side of the coin features the �ev�iny mine building with a hoist tower and an engine room. The year of mintage �2007� is located in the right-hand bottom part of the engine room and the coat-of-arms of B�ezov� hory is positioned above the engine room. The bottom part of the coin depicts three miners working in the mine within an oval medallion. Written on a ring in the form of a cogwheel is the name of the mine: ��EV�INSK� D�L*P��BRAM*B�EZOV� HORY�. The coin was designed by Lubo� Charv�t, whose initials � the stylised interlinked letters �LCH� � are located above the right-hand upper edge of the engine room.

Each coin comes with a red postcard-sized catalogue card. The relief of the coin is dry-stamped through gold foil. The text is given in Czech and English. The card is the same for the normal-quality and proof-quality coins.
