Description
Czechoslovakia #2163 (1978) – Charles University Medal, 1948
The Charles University Medal, established in 1948, was created to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the foundation of Charles University in Prague, Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic).
Charles University is one of the oldest universities in Central Europe, founded by King Charles IV in 1348. Its establishment was a significant event in the history of Czech education and culture. The university played a crucial role in the intellectual and cultural development of the region.
The medal likely served as a means to honor individuals or institutions that made notable contributions to the university or to the fields of education, science, and culture more broadly. It could have been awarded to professors, researchers, alumni, or other individuals associated with the university, as well as to distinguished guests and supporters.
