The Nobel Prize medals, which have been minted by Myntverket in Sweden and the Mint of Norway since 1902, are registered trademarks of the Nobel Foundation. Their engraved designs are internationally-recognized symbols of the prestige of the Nobel Prize. All of these medal designs feature an image of Alfred Nobel in left profile on their front sides. Four of the five Nobel Prize medals feature the same design on their faces. The Nobel Prize medals in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Literature are identical on the face: it shows the image of Alfred Nobel and the years of his birth and death (1833-1896). Nobel's portrait also appears on the Nobel Peace Prize Medal and the Medal for the Prize in Economics, but with a slightly different design. All medals made before 1980 were struck in 23 carat gold. Today, they are made from 18 carat green gold plated with 24 carat gold.
The Nobel Prize laureates’ park can be found on the yard of Jenő Wigner Grammar School in Eger. It was founded in 2000, the year of Millenium.The states werw composed by Pál Farkas and József Kampfl.The curiosity of the park is that it commemorates for 4 alive Nobel Prize laureates.
One of the most common -and unfounded- reasons as to why Nobel decided against a Nobel Prize in maths is that a famous mathematician Gosta Mittag-Leffler who often claimed to be the guilty party. The reason as to why there is no Nobel prize in maths is simply the fact he didn't care much for mathematics, and that it was not considered a practical science from which humanity could benefit.The other reason is that at the time there existed already a well known Scandinavian prize for mathematicians. If Nobel knew about this prize he may have felt less compelled to add a competing prize for mathematicians in his will.
