The reverse of the coin issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the mines features an image of a prehistoric miner at work and an elliptical insert made of striped flint. The obverse of the coin shows the characteristic symbol of the Great Mother. This is a charcoal drawing made on the surface of a limestone pillar of one of the mines in Krzemionki. It probably presents a figure associated with the beliefs and mythology of the Neolithic miners. It is one of several examples of prehistoric rock art in contemporary Poland. It is currently incorporated into the logotype of the Archaeological Museum and the “Krzemionki” Reserve (a branch of the Historical and Archaeological Museum in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski).
