Nobel Prize Medal - Symbol of Scientific and Literary Excellence #189842 (License: Personal Use)

This meticulously designed gold medal features a left-facing profile of Alfred Nobel, with his name inscribed below and the Latin motto “Inventas vitam iuvat excoluisse per artes” (‘And they who bettered life by their newfound arts’) along the rim. The reverse side varies by category-Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace, and Economic Sciences-each uniquely engraved to reflect its discipline. Struck by the Swedish Royal Mint, it is awarded annually since 1901.
