On 27 May 2025 the Czech National Bank is issuing the ninth gold coin from the Municipal Heritage Sites cycle. It features the town of Štramberk. The coin is minted from 999.9 purity gold and is issued in two versions, normal quality and proof quality, which differ in surface treatment and edge marking. Proof-quality coins have a highly polished field, a matt relief and a plain edge. Normal quality coins have milled edges. The coin is 28 mm in diameter, weighs 15.55 g and is 1.85 mm thick. Deviations in diameter of 0.1 mm and thickness of 0.15 mm are allowed. Upward deviations in weight of 0.062 g and in gold content of 0.01% are allowed. 

The upper part of the obverse side of the coin depicts a fragment of a wall painting from the interior of the Jaroňkova útulna building near the Trúba tower in Štramberk. Heraldic animals from the large national coat-of-arms – the Moravian eagle, the Czech lion and the Silesian eagle – are situated in the centre of the coin. Below the heraldic animals are the denomination and abbreviated monetary unit “5000 Kč”. The text “MĚSTSKÉ PAMÁTKOVÉ REZERVACE” is written along the bottom edge of the coin, with the text “ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA” located above it. The mark of the Czech Mint, made up of the letters “Č” and “M”, is below the denomination. The reverse side of the coin features a collage of historic sights of the Štramberk municipal heritage site, consisting of a neo-Renaissance fountain in the foreground, a one-storey town house with a neo-Baroque gable façade centre left, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk centre right, and the ruins of Štramberk Castle with the cylindrical Trúba tower and a wooden house in the background. The text “MĚSTO ŠTRAMBERK” is written along the upper edge of the coin. The year of mintage “2025” is situated at the bottom edge. The initials of the designer of the coin Veronika Prokopová, made up of the letters “V” and “P”, are located before the text “MĚSTO”.

Each coin comes with a red catalogue card containing a description and the relief of the coin.
