I see a cog. But what is this taller object? It isn`t only a stylized W.
Just two chimneys with smoke coming out. Stalowa Wola was/is a boob town where most people worked in the steel mill.

Often English sources are not complete or satisfactory ...
From Polish wikipedia: The former village Bochotnica was renamed Nałęczów by Stanisław Małachowski in 1772 but the spa itself was established by the next owner of Nałęczów, Michał Górski, sometimes after 1863. Nałeczów became a town not until 1963.

Wow! Very exciting!
Probably too exciting. Look how the coat on a street board was censored by prudish inhabitant(s).

Sam święty Jerzy, siostry,
przygłądał się i dziwił:
"Ho, ho, nasz anioł Paweł
bije się jak Radziwiłł.
Dobrodziej też by chwalił,
lecz właśnie śpi w obłokach".
Tak mówił święty Jerzy
i dalej męczył smoka...
- K.I. Gałczyński, Ballada o Trzech Wesołych Aniołach, fragmencik
Even San Georgio, my sisters,
Watched him in sheer delight,
"Ho, ho, our Angelo Paolo
He knows quite well how to fight.
The Boss would also praised him,
but he is on the wagon"
So said Saint George, my sisters,
Further tormenting the dragon ...

Excellent poem.
The former village Bochotnica was renamed Nałęczów
The village Bochotnica still exists in the area. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bochotnica
The village Bochotnica still exists in the area.
Since, according to your source, Bochotnica lies 22 km from Nałęczów and my source claims that Bochotnica is one of the six parts ("sołectwo") of the Gmina Nałeczów and also that Nałęczów was originally known as Bochotnica the inquiring minds deserve clarification of this issue. After consulting Uncle Google Maps we can authoritatively confirm that there are two Bochotnicas: the one at the mouth (1 km away) of river Bystra, right tributary of Vistula, and another a part of Nałęczów. They are exactly 21.4 km apart, 28 minutes by road.
There is also a village Bochotnica-Kolonia, on east side of Gmina Nałęczów, which was once a colony of the village Bochotnica, previously known as Wielka (Great), Górna (Upper) or Kościelna (Church). The latter is now part of Nałęczów. They are 1.9 km appart by road.
Bochotnica on Bystra was once known as Bochotnica Mała (Small). Both places lied once on river Bochotniczanka. The latter is still known as Bochotniczanka stream within Nałęczów, but it soon flows into river Bystra, which then joins Vistula river.
Councils of Polish cities and towns sometimes make a face lifting of their coats.

STATEMENT [translated from ustka.pl/new/index.php?fm=resident&fp=artykul&id=960]
President of the City Council and Mayor of City of Ustka strongly condemn the unprecedented act of vandalism, which was the destruction of Ustka's Mermaid statue.
Given the fact that the City Council agreed to forward the money to build the pedestal, and the statue was erected with the help and involvement of the entire community of Ustka, we believe that the law enforcement should explain, as soon as possible, the circumstances of this event - so upsetting the public. We hope that the perpetrators of the destruction of the monument will be quickly identified and will suffer the consequences under the law.

But it wasn`t vandalised by bigots! My article suggests there was some artistic controvercy about her face as the sculptor protested against illegal altering his oiriginal idea.

Lublin`s coat
What gender does the animal represent?
As a child, I believed the he-goat rests on a hop bush as Lublin area has always been famous for producing hop and quality beer.
But now I can see it is grapevine. But they never produced wine. Funny!
One little riddle
Where in Poland can you see the coats of all major Polish cities and towns?
What gender does the animal represent?
But now I can see it is grapevine. But they never produced wine. Funny!
Here's why:
Lublin is colloquially known as Goat Castle. In his coat of arms proud goat climbs on a vine bush. Where is this symbol from? Its genesis dates back to the fourteenth century, when Lublin received city rights. And it was so ...
At some point, living in the castle townspeople came to the conclusion that the town is so powerful and so developed that it should receive a charter. Therefore, they sent a delegation to Krakow, to convince the reigning WÅ‚adysÅ‚aw £okietek to give Lublin privileges.
It was hard to get to the audiences to the ruler. Time passed, the funds that the city gave the delegation on the trip ended. The situation was becoming less and less interesting. But it has finally managed to - they obtained an audience with the prince. He had yet to be persuaded to grant the city rights to Lublin.
Therefore they told him about how one of the Tatar attacks on the city, survived only a group of children who in the gorge sought shelter against the invader. They told him that the children nursed one goat.

I'll try to translate the outline of the story later.
Where in Poland can you see the coats of all major Polish cities and towns?
Isn't it Sukiennice in Kraków?

Thanks.
Isn't it Sukiennice in Kraków?
Yes!!!!
Inside the medieval Clothes Hall in Krakow, you can see major coats on inside walls.
In 1317 the townspeople of Lublin visited Prince WÅ‚adysÅ‚aw the Short (pl: £okietek) to ask him to grant them civic rights. As the prince agreed, a decision on the city's emblem was to be made. The delegation told the prince about hard times of Lublin when its townspeople had fed on goats' milk. The prince considered a goat a good symbol. However, in order not to evoke unhappy memories, he ordered them to put in the emblem something that would be associated with joy, namely a grapevine.
[i]In Antiquity the goat was an attribute of Venus and Bacchus. Found in mountainous regions, the goat became a symbol of human pursuit to lofty ideals and to God. The goat was also associated with fertility of nature blessed by God. In order to exemplify this fertility, the coat of arms pictured a goat leaning against a vine and gnawing at its leaves. Such a picture can also be seen on the left door leaf of the cathedral in Gniezno, the first capital of Poland.

Nice!
Gniezno, the oldest capital of Poland, has the most patriotic coat of all:
Cradle of the Polish state
Around 940 AD Gniezno, being an important pagan cult center, became one of the main fortresses of the early Piast rulers, along with aforementioned fortresses at Giecz, Kruszwica, PoznaÅ„, Kalisz, £Ä™czyca, Ostrów Lednicki, PÅ‚ock, WÅ‚ocÅ‚awek others. Mieszko I might have moved the capital to Gniezno from PoznaÅ„ after his own and his realm's baptism, but actual move of the capital to Gniezno might have coincided with a growing German menace of the late 10th century and early 11th century depositing the remains of Saint Adalbert in a newly built church, to underline Gniezno's importance as the religious centre and capital of BolesÅ‚aw I Chrobry's kingdom.
These historical facts make its position in Polish history similar to Canterbury or Rheims.
