A very pretty 1961 gold coloured metal and enamel pin badge from former Czechoslovakia celebrating the 900th anniversary of Cheb / Eger.
The badge face is 1.6cm high and has a long stick pin style fastener to the rear.
The original coat of arms for Cheb (Eger in German) is the German eagle, but this was changed in 1962 to the Bohemian lion with a socialist star atop.
- After the fall of communist it was restored in the late 1980's back to the eagle again.
- So this version of the coat of arms was the last time the eagle would be used until its restoration.
