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

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.
