Sterling Mystery medal

Here is a Postmasters of America (Proof, Franklin Mint) Commemorative medal which was issued in 1974. Any information about it would be appreciated and why did they appear to depict Early Man apparently splitting stone or trees in a quarry of some type. It reminds me of (possibly) a scene from an ancient man site near Trippstadt in Germany.

Thanks
Ben

Hi Bone,
This might shed some light on your medal.These Olympic ones were later issues of the series but it looks like they were issued along with first day covers over a number of years.Yours is most likely from a native Americans series.

I'm virtually certain I've had a Postmasters of America set of Franklin Mint sterling before...but I can't remember when. You're right...the obverse doesn't exactly seem to fit with the theme, does it?

Wow, that is nice. How much would one of those cost?
