The medal for The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of
Alfred Nobel shows the North Star emblem of the Royal Swedish
Academy of Sciences, dating from 1815, with the words
"Kungliga Vetenskaps Akademien" (The Royal Swedish Academy of
Sciences) around the edge.
The upper half of the face of the medal depicts Alfred Nobel, but
in a pose different from the one appearing on the Nobel Prize
Medals.
Around the upper edge are the words:
Sveriges Riksbank till Alfred Nobels Minne 1968
(The Sveriges Riksbank, in memory of Alfred Nobel, 1968)
The lower half displays the bank's crossed horns of plenty. This
design distinguishes it from the medals of the five prizes
awarded under the terms of Alfred Nobel's 1895 will.
The name of the Economics Laureate is engraved on the edge of
the medal.
The Medal for The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences
in Memory of Alfred Nobel was designed by Gunvor Svensson-Lundqvist.
