Reverse: Star of David with Swedish cap in center, above gravestones of the old Jewish cemetery & Czech legend "The Jewish Religious Community in Prague".

Medal issued c. Sept 1990 for sale by State Jewish Museum of Prague to raise funds, as it returned to private control & stopped receiving state support.
