These are the great arms of the city and agglomeration of Praha.
Each of the different districts/boroughs within the city has its own arms. See here for an overview of all districts.

During the Czechoslovak Republic (1918-1940) the arms also showed the Slovak arms in the crest, as Prague was the capital city of the whole country.
