• The badge face is 1.3cm high and has a long, stick pin style fastener to the rear.

  These kinds of tourist pins were collected by tourists back in the communist days, when foreign travel was out of the question for most citizens.
  You would buy a pin and wear it as a souvenier of your visit.
  These days there are no towns or attractions that produce these pins, which is a shame and makes these old examples very special.

  The Plzen crest already had a greyhound in the coat of arms of their town before the year 1433 which symbolised faithfulness to the Catholic Church and to the Czech king. At that time.

  The golden camel on a blue ground was supposed to commemorate the feats of Pilsen citizens at the time of an unsuccessful Hussite siege of West Bohemia.
