Winners of a Nobel Prize are given a gold medal, diploma, and monetary award. The medal is approximately 2.6 inches (66 mm) in diameter and is made of 18-carat recycled gold. Alfred Nobel is featured on the front, and the reverse side varies according to the category. Each diploma includes a unique artwork. For the literature winner, the written portion of the diploma is on parchment. The other awards are on handmade paper. The monetary award changes by year. In 2025 the amount is 11 million Swedish krona ($1.2 million) per award. Prizes with multiple winners share the money.
