Nobel Prize
The obverse side of the Nobel Prize medals for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, and Literature.
Each Nobel Prize diploma is a unique work of art created specifically for the laureate. While the materials used for the diplomas vary by category, they are crafted with high-quality substrates: the literature prize diploma is written on parchment, while the diplomas for all other categories are produced on handmade paper. Each diploma also includes a formal citation.12
