Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk


The Order of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk is an Order of the Czech Republic and the former Czechoslovakia. It was established in 1990 after the Velvet Revolution, and re-established in 1994. The President of the Czech Republic awards it to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of democracy, humanity and human rights. Unlike in the past, it is awarded to the Czech citizens and foreigners alike. The order has five classes, of which class I is the highest. The order is named in honor of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, an advocate of Czechoslovak independence and the first President of Czechoslovakia.

Design

The insignia was designed by Vladimír Oppl. The badge is a blue enameled star-shaped ornament with Masaryk's portrait placed in the center. A medallion placed centrally on the reverse of the badge bears the Greater Coat of Arms of the Czech Republic encircled by a white ring with the inscription "VĚRNI ZŮSTANEME", the motto of the Order.
