The coin will commemorate 300 years since the construction and installation of the first steam engine installed on the continent to pump water from the mines, being installed in the Banská Štiavnica mines, located in Slovakia.
Eight designs by seven authors were submitted to the competition. The Commission for the Evaluation of Artistic Designs of Commemorative Coins and Collectible Coins evaluated them in July 2021.
