- A rare vintage gold coloured meal and enamel pin badge from former Czechoslovakia. The badge face is 2.3cm high and has a long, stick pin style fastener on the rear side.
- Mining started here in 1892, and the name of the mine at that time was Nová jáma. The mine was renamed to its current name in 1950 on the occasion of the visit of president, Comrade Antonín Zápotocký.
- The mines are now named the Lazy mines, after the village of Lazy where they are situated.
